The best book available on the subject (in German)

« The Adventure of Languages », that is the name of the book in English, is so fascinating a book that I really cannot understand why it is not printed in English and gets the same bestseller position it gets in many bookstores charts in Europe, where it has historically a lot of editions in different languages. This is the first book that I have read on the subject of origin of languages some five years ago and it completely changed my life, because, after reading it, I felt so enthralled by its content, that I deep dived on this subject, reading all the stuff that an amateur reader like myself can read. But I must be true to you that I never found such a fascinating subject anywhere else treated on so pleasant and challenging terms as I found them in "Abenteuer Sprachen", sadly to the American reader, only available in German.
