Über diesen Titel

Críticas

A dictionary may not contain narratives and poems, but the best ones, like this one, give you the tools. (David Malcolm, Times Literary Supplement)

This is the dictionary par excellence for the general reader. (David Malcolm, Times Literary Supplement)

It answers a lot of questions; it is easy to use; it does not take up too much space on a crowded desk. (David Malcolm, TLS)
