{"product_id":"untranslatable-alma-alexander-9781949914580","title":"Untranslatable","description":"There is a story behind every word. There is a word behind every story. Some concepts require a single word in other languages but paragraphs to explain in English.There are times when it is impossible to have a direct translation of something, to understand an idea at once simple to one mind and unutterably impenetrable to another-except through the bridge of story, through a literal journey into another language, another culture, another mind. The 14 stories in this book are bridges made of words-crossing into language landscapes of Japan, of Sweden, of France, of Portugal, of Tierra del Fuego-glimpses into the worldview and the mindset of cultures different enough from our own to produce a single word that encompasses a world of concepts. Translating the untranslatable. \"I love Alma Alexander's writing. Reading one of her stories is like having a beautiful and intense conversation that you walk away from realizing that you've learned something you didn't know about yourself.\" - Leigh Grossman, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Green Lion\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e, creator of \"Sense of Wonder\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949914585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949914580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mystique Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.39d","brand":"Alma Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482797367551,"sku":"9781949914580","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11e5fa0c-2c26-4913-b332-91f9d1af8ae0.jpg?v=1715999518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/untranslatable-alma-alexander-9781949914580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
