.One Hundred Afghan Proverbs by Dr. J. Christy Wilson, Jr.
Dari/English. US $5.75These Dari Persian proverbs have been carefully selected from among the many thousands in use by Afghans by Dr. J. Christy Wilson, Jr., a Christian educator and humanitarian who served in Kabul, Afghanistan for over twenty years. Proverbs provide a window into the minds and hearts of Afghan people. The current revised edition of One Hundred Afghan Proverbs includes a transliteration of each proverb based on the phonetical system devised by Eugene Glassman, thereby facilitating the use of the book as a language and culture acquisition resource and a companion volume to the book Conversational Dari [below]. The book will be of special interest to teachers and students of Dari Persian, relief and development workers and NGOs assisting the Afghan people, and to the large English-speaking Afghan Diaspora in the West, who desire to share the treasures of their culture with their own children and friends.
