Lost in translation

The indescribable euphoria of falling in love, the stack of books waiting to be read, the tender act of stroking the hair of the person you love—these and many other linguistic delights from around the world serve as the starting point for this captivating exploration of the nuances of language. Published shortly after Ella Frances Sanders turned twenty-one, *Lost in Translation* uses ink illustrations to bring countless nuances to untranslatable words. These are words of elusive beauty that span the spectrum of human experience, reminding us that "we are fundamentally and intrinsically connected to every person on this planet through feelings and language." The selection of terms radiates as much freshness and humor as the author’s graphic style; it is so personal that it feels like a confession—revealing an intimate story through the appreciation of radiant, poetic moments and the desire to give words to ideas and feelings.
