Ce dictionnaire regroupe 10 000 éponymes mondiaux provenant de personnes qui ont donné leur nom, ou dont on a donné le nom : à leur entreprise, leur invention, leur fondation..., à des musées, des prix littéraires, des lycées, des universités, des stades, des cathédrales, et ce, depuis des siècles, dans tous les pays du monde, et parfois même sur les planètes ! Se constituant d'un million de mots, ce dictionnaire est unique au monde ; il a demandé à l'auteur 15 années de travail acharné, entre 2002 et 2017, à raison de 3 à 10 heures quotidiennes. Les dates choisies sont très précises, avec souvent le jour de la semaine, et parfois même l'heure, les minutes et les secondes !

From diesel to gerrymandering, the English language is rich with eponyms--words that are named after an individual. The many histories behind these words are often mesmerizing--a word named, incidentally, after the German physician Franz Mesmer, who developed the practice of hypnotism as a form of therapy.Deriving from numerous sources, eponyms are full of intrigue. This book features one hundred and fifty of the most interesting and enlightening specimens, delving into the origins of the words and describing the fascinating people after whom they were named. Some honor a style icon, inventor, or explorer, such as pompadour, Kalashnikov, and Cadillac. Others have roots in Greek or Roman mythology, such as panic and tantalize. Still others are far from celebratory and were created to brand the negative association of their origins--into this category can be filed boycott, Molotov cocktail, and sadist.Encompassing words from medicine, botany, invention, science, fashion, food, and literature, this book uncovers the curious tales of discovery, mythology, innovation, and infamy behind the eponyms we use every day. The Real McCoy is the perfect addition to any wordsmith's bookshelf.
