Words to Love a Planet is a beautifully illustrated and culturally diverse dictionary of words from a wide variety of languages offering new ways to consider our lives, our landscapes, and our ways of loving both people and planet.New York Times-bestselling author Ella Frances Sanders—motivated by care for language and landscape—presents Words to Love a Planet, a collection celebrating the complexities of language, living, and the natural world. Across seven themes there are over 200 words detailing feelings, concepts, physical facts of landscape, weather, or time, and ways of thinking that leave readers with a greater sense of connection to, and care for, the planet. Recognizing that which so many of us have long neglected, and the essential part translation plays in understanding both experience and environment, the words—from over 80 different languages—allow readers to better comprehend the present moment and envision futures in which our planet is properly loved. Each word is accompanied by a translation, a pronunciation, and a short description with either etymological detail or notes on the language or landscape of origin. Equally an approachable entry point for those on the margins of environmentalism, as well as those who know we often lack the language to describe the struggles and nuances of the present time, Words to Love a Planet provides for both, a soft, thoughtful place to land amid the chaos.

From the International Booker Prize–winning translator and Women's Prize finalist, a propulsive, beguiling novel about eight translators and their search for a world-renowned author who goes missing in a primeval Polish forest. Eight translators arrive at a house in a forest on the border of Belarus. It belongs to the world-renowned author Irena Rey, and they are there to translate her magnum opus, Gray Eminence. But within days of their arrival, Irena disappears without a trace. The translators, who hail from eight different countries but share the same reverence for their beloved author, begin to investigate where she may have gone while proceeding with work on her masterpiece. They explore this ancient wooded refuge with its intoxicating slime molds and lichens, and study her exotic belongings and layered texts for clues. But doing so reveals secrets — and deceptions — of Irena Rey's that they are utterly unprepared for. Forced to face their differences as they grow increasingly paranoid in this fever dream of isolation and obsession, soon the translators are tangled up in a web of rivalries and desire, threatening not only their work but the fate of their beloved author herself. This hilarious, thought-provoking second outing by award-winning translator and author Jennifer Croft is a brilliant examination of art, celebrity, the natural world, and the power of language. It is an unforgettable, unputdownable adventure with a small but global cast of characters shaken by the shocks of love, destruction, and creation in one of Europe’s last great wildernesses.
