Very helpful ( but obsolete now due to the Net ) ( ) The jacket copy on this book claims that "It is a fascinating compilation of expressions likely to be encountered in the great classics of literature or in current books and periodicals...". Each term or phrase has an indication of which language it is from and what it means. I'm not sure how useful it is to list the Greek entries in Greek (if you are familiar enough with the Greek alphabet to look it up, can't you understand what the phrase means?), though they do transliterate the phrase into the Roman alphabet in the notes. Another issue I have with this book is that it does not provide any help with pronunciation. If you want to know whether sui generis has a hard or soft g, you are out of luck. But it's still a fun book to browse in, if you have the shelf space. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
