Words and People

This work is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the origin of words, idioms, and eponyms. Often, when we use certain well-known words, we do not know their origin or authors and attribute them to people and events with which they are not associated. This book contains a collection of the most famous and commonly used idioms of prominent historical figures of the past and present that have entered various languages around the world. This work can also be a useful aid for school leavers taking the Unified State Exam.
