Описание: A New York Times bestseller

One of the preeminent linguists of our time examines the realms of language that are considered shocking and taboo in order to understand what imbues curse words with such power--and why we love them so much.

Profanity has always been a deliciously vibrant part of our lexicon, an integral part of being human. In fact, our ability to curse comes from a different part of the brain than other parts of speech--the urgency with which we say f&*k! is instead related to the instinct that tells us to flee from danger.

Language evolves with time, and so does what we consider profane or unspeakable. Nine Nasty Words is a rollicking examination of profanity, explored from every angle: historical, sociological, political, linguistic. In a particularly coarse moment, when the public discourse is shaped in part by once-shocking words, nothing could be timelier.

Описание: Maisie Slaughter is far from traditional in her Christianity. She worships God in a way some call dangerous to the community. Though she is friendless and shunned, she has a lone admirer. Adam Woods sees only beauty and wonder in her. When a man seeks revenge for a crime nearly twenty years old, Maisie is institutionalized and Adam is jailed. Despite his knowledge that Maisie may never love him the way he loves her, Adam refuses to let Maisie be destroyed, even if it means that in the process, he will be.
