Adventures in Pursuit of a Language

About the author

William Alexander, currently living in New York's Hudson Valley, is the bestselling author of two critically acclaimed books about the quest for the perfect garden (The $64 Tomato) and the perfect loaf of bread (52 Loaves).

Summary

Setting out to conquer the language he loves (but which, amusingly, does not seem to love him back), Alexander devotes himself to learning French, going beyond grammar lessons and memory techniques to delve into the history of the language, the science of linguistics, and the art of translation.
