Крылатые слова

Winged words serve as a powerful means of figurative and expressive literary speech. Many of them have entered our everyday life so long ago that it seems that the people themselves invented them. The authors of this wonderful book, literary scholars and bibliographers Nikolai Sergeevich (1890-1972) and Maria Grigorievna (1894-1980) Ashukins, return readers to the original sources, reveal the true meaning of popular words and expressions, and tell the history of their origin and use. With their unique book, the authors contribute to increasing the expressiveness of our speech, enriching our individual style, helping our contemporaries - from schoolchildren to politicians and businessmen - to master the rich heritage of thinkers of the past.
For a wide range of readers.
