In All the World There is No Such Thing as a Stranger: Wit and Wisdom of the World in Proverbs
No Customer Reviews
In this selection of proverbs from many languages, we're reminded that billions of humans over the centuries have experienced the same needs, emotions, and thoughts, but have expressed then in the idioms, turns of phrase, and frames of reference peculiar to their different cultures. Happily, it can be said, the sameness makes us comfortable with -- the differences make us fascinating to -- each other. To animate the words, these pages of wise and witty sayings are sprinkled with illustrations drawn from the arts and crafts of many peoples. In the context of the distressing animosity, divisiveness, and mistrust that seems to assault us with every news cycle, this little collection is offered as a light-hearted and encouraging celebration of our human camaraderie amidst captivating diversity.
