Description
Respond to Japanese Noh theater like a native: Kazoku sorrote no seppuku ga yokatta. (" I love the part where the whole family disembowels themselves." ) Speak to homicidal Parisian taxi drivers in a language they' ll understand: Ou avez-vous appris ? conduire? En Italie? (" Where did you learn to drive? Italy?" ) Discuss Italian olive oil with the proper degree of reverence: Un assaggio ti dice che le olive sono maturate di fronte ad una cattedrale. (" One taste tells you the olives grew in full view of the cathedral." ) Establish privacy needs in Mexico: Preferir? a una habitaci? n sin alacranes. (" I' d prefer a room without scorpions." ) With seven titles and over 1.2 million copies in print, Howard Tomb' s Wicked phrase book series is the fiendishly irreverent- and very successful- collection that gives travelers the words they wish they could utter while, say, attempting to find the exit of the Louvre or facing a plate of fugu (poisonous blowfish) in Japan. Now, the five most popular Wicked books- Italian, French, Japanese, German, and Spanish- have been updated and compiled into The Wicked Traveler. A$25 value for $8.95, it' s the ultimate impulse gift for anyone who' d like to know how to say silly things in five different languages. Because, as Howard Tomb writes in his new introduction: " Every country is different, but all foreign places have one thing in common: they' re weird."
