In his second book, Noah Jonathan Jacobs briefly and profoundly looks at the basis of our nature as revealed in language, the role of illusion in human life, the armed truce between the sexes, and the hate-filled origins of whole tribes of words now quite tame.

About the Author
In his checkered, dappled, and piebald career as an immensely learned scholar of language and the human heart, Noah Jacobs managed to include a role as Chief of the American translation staff at the Nuremburg trials. The author of a number of severe scholarly works as well, he now lives chiefly in Vienna and Jerusalem.
