«Latín lovers» is Emilio del Río's linguistic popular-science essay, published by Planeta in hardback (248 pages, in Spanish).
A journey through the traces of Latin in modern life: the author shows how this classical language survives in sport, economics, gastronomy, cinema and music, and also in colloquial speech. Chapters such as «De Asterix al Brexit» or «Sobre esta pizza edificaré el Imperio romano» illustrate that invisible presence of Latin in today's culture.
The author holds a PhD in Classical Philology from the Complutense University of Madrid and is in charge of the «Verba Volant» section on Radio Nacional de España.
For readers who enjoy language curiosities and want to discover the classical legacy in popular culture.
