The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus
The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus

Celebrating words' magic through Roget's life.

If you've ever been lost in the nuances of language, fascinated by the subtle differences between synonyms, or are simply a lover of words, this book will surely resonate with you. It not only explores the historical significance of the thesaurus and the man behind it but does so through artwork that breathes life into his legacy. It's a tribute to the quiet power held by the right word at just the right moment.

Description

For shy young Peter Mark Roget, books were the best companions -- and it wasn’t long before Peter began writing his own book. But he didn’t write stories; he wrote lists. Peter took his love for words and turned it to organizing ideas and finding exactly the right word to express just what he thought. His lists grew and grew, eventually turning into one of the most important reference books of all time.

It not only explores the historical significance of the thesaurus and the man behind it but does so through artwork that breathes life into his legacy.
