While I jolted the pomegranate tree, hypochondria raced my body. I was standing in the pinnacle of the largest rock i've ever seen, I really needed a balustrade to keep my balance. All I needed was sojourn.

Reading the book obligates me to keep a dictionary in my hand too, many words are really unknown and weird. Because the text is based in description, many adjectives are really unfamiliar, yet it's a way to enlarge my vocabulary. These where some examples of word I found out in chapter 4 and 5 of Invisible Cities. 


  • Amethyst: Precious stone consisting of violet or purple variety of quartz. (Violet color)

  • Hypochondria: Rare anxiety about one's health. Unwanted fear. 

  • Gauge: Way to measure the magnitude, amount or contents of something. 

  • Filigree: Gold or silver ornamental work. 

  • Sojourn: A temporary stay.

  • Jolts: To push or shake
