VOX POPULI

תיאור

With Illustration by Lilia Goyzman
Collected, annotated and arranged by HENRY ROSEN
«
The book contains approximately 22,000 sayings and
proverbs, organized into 1,000 groups. Each group
includes the proverb's original title in its language, a literal
English translation, annotations, and similar proverbs from
the other languages included. The primary purpose of
this collection was to introduce Hebrew, the language
of the Bible, into multilingual collections of parallel
proverbs. If you are interested in exploring these linguistic
gems, you may find this book engaging, interesting,
intriguing, and perhaps even fascinating.»
«
The proverbial wisdom of the world is much more alike
than people might think, showing that all of humanity
is connected by basic experiences and insights. Henry
Rosen’s polyglot masterpiece shows this very convincingly,
and it will very quickly become a standard proverb treasure
for scholars and others to benefit from and to enjoy.»
