Gene Nida, My Husband and My Inspiration

Long before she ever met him, Professor Mara Elena Fernndez-Miranda fell in love
with the mind of Eugene Nida, distinguished linguist and Bible translator. During the
busiest period of a professional career that had taken her from Spain to
Luxembourg and then Belgium, she declines an offer to speak at an internationally
regarded translator's conference. When she learns Professor Nida is to be a keynote
speaker at the event and she begins to carefully prepare a presentation on
multilingualism in Europe . . . .
In Gene Nida, My Husband and My Inspiration, Elena Nida shares her memories of a
boundless, pure romance that appears usually only in fairy tales. Bursting with the
joys and aches of love and life, filled with vivid imagery, this memorial is a study of
life itself; of what a life well lived looks like; of selflessness and honor and love-
love most of all.
