Title: 350 Idioms and Their Origins, or How to Keep Innocence and Acquire Capital Author: Larisa Feliksovna Shitova
Ever wondered why someone might “swing a cat in a small room,” “steal thunder,” or mention “new heels” when talking about a wealthy person? This book answers these peculiar questions with clarity and wit.
Each English idiom is paired with a fitting Russian equivalent or a free explanatory translation. The figurative expression is illustrated with a real-life usage example, while its meaning and origin are explained in detail. Accompanying drawings highlight the paradoxical nature of the situations described.
The book is designed for English learners, translators, and anyone curious about the stories behind everyday phrases. By the end, you’ll not only understand the idioms but also build your idiomatic capital.
