by Tiffany Watt (Author)

156 emociones que has sentido, que no sabes si has sentido, o que nunca antes has podido nombrar en tu idioma.

Una enciclopedia de emociones alegre y bien pensada, a la vez amplia y exageradamente específica, de distintas épocas y todas partes del mundo.

Cómo te sientes hoy? Tu corazón tiembla con impaciencia? Sientes el estómago tenso de los nervios? Te estás enamorando? Tienes la piel de gallina? Te sientes ansioso con iktsuarpok o lleno de nakhes? Investigaciones recientes sugieren que solo existen seis emociones básicas, pero si eso te hace sentir inquieto, receloso y quizá un poco desvalido, el Atlas de las emociones humanas es para ti.

En este libro singular podrás viajar a lo largo del mundo y a través del tiempo, aprendiendo cómo distintas culturas han articulado las experiencias humanas, adquiriendo a la par nuevos y fascinantes conocimientos sobre ti mismo. Desde lo familiar (ira) hasta lo extraño (zal), cada entrada entretenida e informativa, en orden alfabético, revela las sorprendentes conexiones y los increíbles hechos detrás de nuestra vida emocional.

Ya sea que busques la palabra perfecta para resumir esa sensación acogedora que tienes al estar en interiores en una noche fría de invierno, rodeado de amigos y buena comida (lo que los neerlandeses llaman gezelligheid), o te preguntes cómo evolucionó la nostalgia de ser una enfermedad fatal hasta convertirse en una autoindulgencia disfrutable, Tiffany Watt Smith recurre a la historia, la antropología, la ciencia, el arte, la literatura, la música y la cultura popular para darte las respuestas.

Al leer el Atlas de las emociones humanas descubrirás sentimientos que no sabías que tenías (como la basorexia, la necesidad repentina de besar a alguien) y obtendrás perspectivas inesperadas de por qué te sientes como te sientes. Además, no te da curiosidad saber qué significa nginyiwarrarringu?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thoughtful, gleeful encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world.

How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes? Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, The Book of Human Emotions is for you.

In this unique book, you'll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way. From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives.

Whether you're in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter's night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers.

In reading The Book of Human Emotions, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren't you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?
