"The linguistic recipe used by Diego Marani is broadly the following: take a firm grounding of English and French, toss in chunks of German, Spanish and Italian; garnish with a dash of Flemish and Euroslang..."--P. [4] of cover.
Diego Marani was born in Ferrara in 1959. He works as a senior linguist for the European Union in Brussels. Every week he writes a column for a Swiss newspaper about current affairs in Europanto, a language that he has invented. Las Adventures des Inspector Cabillot is the first book to be published in Europanto. In Italian he has published six novels, including the highly acclaimed New Finnish Grammar and The Last of the Vostyachs.
