El profesor y el loco : una historia de crímenes, locura y amor por palabras
The Professor and the Madman, masterfully researched and eloquently written, is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary -- and literary history. The compilation of the oeD, begun in 1857, was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor James Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had submitted more than ten thousand. When the committee insisted on honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane.
The creation of the Oxford English Dictionary began in 1857, took seventy years to complete, drew from tens of thousands of brilliant minds, and organized the sprawling language into 414,825 precise definitions. But hidden within the rituals of its creation is a fascinating and mysterious story - a story of two remarkable men whose strange twenty-year relationship lies at the core of this historic undertaking. Professor James Murray, an astonishingly learned former schoolmaster and bank clerk, was the distinguished editor of the OED project. Dr. William Chester Minor, an American surgeon from New Haven, Connecticut, who had served in the Civil War, was one of thousands of contributors who submitted illustrative quotations of words to be used in the dictionary. But Minor was no ordinary contributor. He was remarkably prolific, sending thousands of neat, handwritten quotations from his home in the small village of Crowthorne, fifty miles from Oxford. On numerous occasions Murray invited Minor to visit Oxford and celebrate his work, but Murray's offer was regularly - and mysteriously - refused. Thus the two men, for two decades, maintained a close relationship only through correspondence. Finally, in 1896, after Minor had sent nearly ten thousand definitions to the dictionary but had still never traveled from his home, a puzzled Murray set out to visit him. It was then that Murray finally learned the truth about Minor - that, in addition to being a masterful wordsmith, Minor was also a murderer, clinically insane - and locked up in Broadmoor, England's harshest asylum for criminal lunatics.
Spanish translation of "Professor and the madman". The story of the relationship between James Murray, the coordinator for the compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary, and William Minor, a mental patient, one of his volunteer colaborators.

L'assassino più colto del mondo : una storia di follia e amore per i libri nell'Inghilterra vittoriana
L'histoire vraie qui a accompagné l'élaboration de l'"Oxford English Dictionary". En 1890, James Murray, son rédacteur en chef, découvre que son correspondant le plus étonnant vit dans un asile et était un brillant chirurgien avant d'être interné à la suite d'un meurtre. Une histoire d'amitié et d'amour entre le chirurgien fou, le linguiste génial et la veuve de la victime.
C'est sous l'angle de la folie et de l'énigme du docteur William Chester Minor, que l'auteur narre la passionnante aventure linguistique du ##Oxford English dictionary## (OED). Une oeuvre monumentale achevée en 1928, et qui a nécessité 70 ans de travail. Il fallait être fou pour s'attaquer à cette tâche, mais fou, le Dr Minor, collaborateur prolifique et acharné, l'était pour de vrai. Il vivait enfermé dans un asile d'aliénés criminels. Minor devint l'un des plus précieux collaborateurs de Murray, l'éditeur de l'EOD, ce qui ne l'empêchait pas de continuer à croire que des intrus se glissaient la nuit dans sa chambre pour le torturer. Tout en relatant la folie de Minor et sa relation avec Sir Murray, Simon Winchester décrit l'énorme travail fait autour du dictionnaire. Son récit est clair et agréable à lire, mais on regrette qu'il n'ait pas coupé un peu dans l'anecdote pour consacrer davantage d'espace à la fabuleuse histoire du dictionnaire. [SDM].
