CUSTODIAN OF A LITTRE DICTIONARY.
1877
Four Volumes
I had these volumes shipped to me from in Paris, France.
They are magnificent. I can't memorize them, but I can keep them safe, and eventually pass them along to another 'Save The Books' custodian.

This is the first episode of our new series "Overlooked," a deep dive into Stephen King/Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". We have five episodes (but there may possibly be a sixth, an epilogue). The series starts with the foundation of "The Environment". Words often get taken for granted, but they have gravity, and definitions are important. "Environment" according to the 1897 Webster's #Dictionary is defined as, "That which environs or surrounds; surrounding conditions, influences, or forces, by which living forms are influenced and modified in their growth and development." "It is no friendly environment, this of thine." — Carlyle

In a Mandarin word-chain chat today the innocuous 論壇 for “forum” showed up.
I was having both a fun and hard time to find anything starting with 壇 in my printed dictionaries, to continue the game with. Or even identify one that had the character at all. 壇 tán on its own has strong religious connotation, as in temple or ceremonious arrangement something something.
But. Searched four volumes, no dice. Online, no compound expression (maybe I stopped looking early because felt lightly discouraged). So had to dig into the old 1943 Mathew’s Dictionary that falls apart at the spine to find the one single compound noun 壇場 for “arena”. This family owned volume has proven useful at times.
Phew. I love it to have very reliable resources at hand when I need to. Digging that word up gave me a few happy moments of mild euphoria this morning while searching for and then posting my contribution. So you get to read this, too. :o)
