Verbolario / Verbulary [Spanish]

By Rodrigo Cortés

Rodrigo Cort?s regresa a las librer?as con Verbolario diccionario sat?rico, humor?stico y po?tico, que, con sus m?s de dos mil definiciones y siete a?os de trabajo a la espalda, se atreve a enmendarle la plana al diccionario.

«Verbolario es un milagro sostenido: la noticia m?s extraordinaria del d?a est? en sus definiciones . --Manuel Jabois

Toda palabra tiene su significado oculto (su significado verdadero) acechante entre sus pliegues con la astucia del salteador de caminos; se desvela s?lo con el uso y s?lo ante la perspicacia y el o?do, que son el mismo sentido.

Rodrigo Cort?s reinventa el lenguaje y hace confesar a cada voz su aut?ntico prop?sito. Verbolario no define las palabras: las desnuda.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Rodrigo Cort?s returns to bookstores with Verbulary a satirical, humorous, and poetic dictionary, with more than 2,000 definitions and seven years of work, that dares to correct and improve dictionaries.

"Verbulary is an uninterrupted miracle: the most extraordinary news of the day is in its definitions." --Manuel Jabois

Every word has its hidden meaning (its true meaning) lurking between its folds like a thief and only reveals itself with use and unique insight and receptiveness, which are the same thing.

Rodrigo Cort?s reinvents language and makes each expression confess its real purpose. Verbulary does not define the words: it reveals them.
