Literature, Social Wisdom, and Global Justice
Five Proverbs from Every Nation is a unique collection of proverbs that takes readers on a journey through the wisdom of the world. This well researched book, with 100 footnotes and 180 subjects in the index, curates five proverbs from every nation (including a definition of nation according to the United Nations) showcasing the full diversity of cultural expressions through time honored sayings. Whether reflecting universal truths, imparting moral lessons, or offering practical advice, proverbs are deeply embedded in human societies.
The book begins with a thoughtful introduction that explains my personal motivation. The book moves the reader through an explanation of proverbs, how they have been used in history and today, and their significance in across societies. I explore how these concise sayings encapsulate the values, beliefs, and experience of the people who use them in their everyday lives. From rural villages to bustling cities, proverbs have been passed down through generations as a way of making sense of the world and as lighthouses showing us the way.
What separates my book for others? No other book is inclusive of every nation! Every nation, no matter how large or small is represented. Alongside each nation's proverbs, reader will find a cool fun fact-an interesting piece of trivia or cultural insight, or geographic data point that makes Global Wisdom a rarity. Plus, where I have a personal experience with a nation worth mentioning I toss that in also. What's not to love!
Through this book, readers can explore the common threads that unite humanity, as well as the unique perspective that make every culture special. This book was motivated to unity our common human experience. Whether you are young or old, lover of language, cultural enthusiast, or simply curious about the world, Global Wisdom, has something to offer. Enjoy!
