Pour tout l'or des mots

Synopsis of Pour tout l'or des mots

«Pour tout l'or des mots» is the French-language dictionary by Claude Gagnière, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (1088 pages, in French).

A work conceived as a dictionary with nearly 150 unusual and amusing entries on French: aphorisms, epitaphs, graffiti, proverbs, paradoxes and famous quotations, seasoned with a touch of cynicism. An invitation to good humor that celebrates the richness and oddities of the language.

Part of the Bouquins collection, with a foreword by Jean-Claude Carrière. It brings together and updates the works Au bonheur des mots and Des mots et merveilles.

For readers curious about language, quotations and verbal wit.
