The School of Life 'Untranslatable Words' Card Set

£18.00
A set of 20 cards which explain the meaning behind untranslatable words from around the world.

The School of Life gathered together their favourite words from the world's languages and married them up with complementary images to create cards that bring some of our most important feelings into focus. There are lots of moods, needs and feelings that our own language has not yet properly pinned down. The perfect word - whatever the language - helps us explain ourselves to other people, and its existence quietly reassures us that a state of mind is not really rare, just rarely spoken of.

20 cards in box | 159mm x 115mm x 20mm.
