A playful and erudite look at the origins of language In the beginning there was one language—one tongue that Adam used to compose the first poem, an elegy for Abel. “These days, no one bothers to ask about the tongue of Adam. It is a naive question, vaguely embarrassing and irksome, like questions posed by children, which one can only answer rather stupidly.” So begins Abdelfattah Kilito’s The Tongue of Adam, a delightful series of lectures. With a Borgesian flair for riddles, stories, and subtle scholarly distinctions, Kilito presents an assortment of discussions related to Adam’s tongue, including translation, comparative religion, and lexicography: for example, how, from Babel onward, can we explain the plurality of language? Or can Adam’s poetry be judged aesthetically, the same as any other poem? Drawing from the commentators of the Koran to Walter Benjamin, from the esoteric speculations of Judaism to Herodotus, The Tongue of Adam is a nimble book about the mysterious rise of humankind’s multilingualism.

IF FAITH COMES BY HEARING, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT FAITH IS ALSO RELEASED BY SPEAKING Every word you speak with your tongue will either generate faith or fear. Faith sees opportunity and possibility in the face of apparent defeat. while fear only sees calamity and impossibility in the face of great opportunity. WORDS ARE DYNAMITE Your tongue is the most powerful weapon at your disposal, with it you can steer your life forward or backward. With your tongue you can make war as well as peace. What you say with your mouth can destroy all that you have used your entire life to build. EVERY WORD YOU SPEAK GOES A LONG WAY IN DETERMINING YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY To improve your lot, you have got to engage your tongue. In the place of lack, you can say, let there be plenty. in the place of sickness, you can say, let there be health. It is your choice.
