More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Aptly titled, this work consists solely of 20,128 proverbs and their variations from cultures around the world. Fascinated with "the striking similarity of proverbs from dissimilar cultures in different times and different places," Cordry (A Pronouncing Guide to American English, Austin & Winfield, 1996) presents an interesting intellectual exercise. His dictionary-style organization, thesaurus-type cross references, and keyword, subject, and source indexes facilitate use. Most citations provide language of origin, though some offer national or ethnic derivation. A good example of the current tide of multicultural works, this is recommended as a complement to traditional works of American and English proverbs, such as A Dictionary of American Proverbs (LJ 12/91).Lisa Powell Williams, Moline Southeast Lib., Ill.
Booknews
Presented by nationality or source within 1,300 headings such as accidents, divided loyalty, marriage, and shame; and indexed by key word, subject, and source. All but a few are from European cultures, and include famous writers such as Shakespeare and Ovid, and works such as the Bible. The obscure ones remain unexplained.
