«Palabras moribundas» is the essay on language by Pilar García Mouton and Álex Grijelmo, published by Taurus in paperback (392 pages, in Spanish).
This essay brings together Spanish words that have fallen out of use and reflects on their power to evoke past times, trades and customs. Each rescued word opens a door to memory: it brings back people, objects and scenes from another era. The authors seek for these terms to survive in the memory of those who read them.
First edition (001), published on 11 October 2011, in the Taurus Pensamiento collection.
For readers interested in the Spanish language, etymology and words in disuse; also for those who feel nostalgia for past eras.
