The Book Of Albanian Sayings : Cultural Proverbs

This unparalleled work includes over eighty pages of Albanian wise sayings and proverbs, carefully translated into English by the editor, a native of the Albanian language. Additionally, the book includes commentary, a brief introduction of the history and culture of the region, and appendices such as a glossary of terms, a historical timeline, and a transliteration chart. ~ "The wisdom found in these sayings is profound, but so is Flamur Vehapi's thoughtful commentary. I commend him for preserving what otherwise might have disappeared: a treasure trove of cultural sayings that will enrich and fascinate every reader. I'm not Albanian, yet I repeatedly nodded and smiled at how accessible, meaningful and transforming these sayings are." -Joel Hayward, author of Poems from the Straight Path ~ "A work of art and an invaluable treasure for anyone who comes across it." -Naser Bresa, author of Retrospektiva ~ "A one-of-a-kind selection of great value." -Burhan Al-Din Fili, author of Hope is Alive ~ "This is a collection of estimable gems for everyone to have in their own libraries." -Hathal bin Maqbool, the Culture Center, KFMMC ~ "This is a clever little treasure trove of collective pearls of wisdom and proverbial maxims." -Brandon Mayfield, co-author of Improbable Cause
