Just finished The Tall Stanger by D. E. Stevenson (in English). 🇬🇧 ❤️ I really enjoyed this novel. It was well written, fast paced and very romantic! 🤗
I liked the plot. But the most important thing is the language of the book. The richest English language, which is rarely seen today!
Some interesting phrases from this book:
🇬🇧 (En) 👉👉👉 🇷🇺 (Ru)
🔹 come weal come woe = в горе и в радости;
🔹 making a mountain out of a molehill = делать из мухи слона (“You think I’m making a mountain out of a molehill?”)
🔹 be someone’s pigeon = be someone’s concern (“… declaring that it was her pigeon…” = “… это было ее дело”)
🔹 straight as a die = прямой, честный, такой не подведет (… Ned was the soul of honour – straight as a die!)
