Supplement to the Italian Dictionary by Bruno Munari

Description

Absolutely wonderful! This book that explores the different ways of talking without a single word being spoken, by using only the hands, facial expressions or the attitude of the body. Made as a "supplement to the Italian dictionary" to give foreigners an idea of the full Italian language in all its forms. "The author explains for example, that NO can be said in several ways: quickly lifting the eyebrows or looking the other way; lifting the head so as to push it backward, putting the fingers under the chin and moving the upward... turning the back to the speaker". This book is delightful, poetic and endearing. Pick it up when you want to think about things through a different lens, it will spur some thought!
