Com certeza, leitura apraz�vel e fonte constante de consulta de uma das vertentes mais ricas e criativas da linguagem. O professor Ari Riboldi n�o s� registra o sentido atual das express�es com animais de forma did�tica, mas tamb�m busca a hist�ria de sua origem, ou das v�rias vers�es sobre o seu surgimento, mediante o retorno a antigos costumes, lendas, mitos, folclore dos nossos povos. Paralelamente, a sua obra torna-se um pano de fundo para uma compreens�o mais abrangente da hist�ria da humanidade, por meio da an�lise de express�es e ditados que refletem o pensamento e os costumes do ser humano. Os animais sempre foram a met�fora perfeita para retratar o comportamento humano. Compreender o sentido original dessas express�es e ditados, portanto, � descobrir e acompanhar o pensamento do homem ao longo da hist�ria. Embarque nesta viagem instigante pelo mundo das palavras e dos animais.
