How to Sound Cultured: Master The 250 Names That Intellectuals Love To Drop Into Conversation by Thomas W. Hodgkinson, Hubert Van Den Bergh (Hardcover, 2015)
When you hear the name Rimbaud, do you think of Sylvester Stallone? Covering such inscrutable characters as Heidegger, Montaigne, Popper and Levi-Strauss (apparently not just a designer of jeans), writer Hubert Van Den Bergh - author of the bestselling How to Sound Clever - and journalist Thomas W. Hodgkinson offer you a wry look inside the mirrored palaces of high culture. Read this book and you'll never again mistake Hegel for Engels, you'll know when precisely to drop Foucault's name into a conversation and how to pronounce 'Borgesian', and you'll learn many more essential pointers for the intellectual life.
