About the Author

Captain Edward Zellem is the award-winning author of two bilingual books of Afghan Proverbs published in nine languages. He is a trained Dari speaker who worked every day for a year and a half side-by side with Afghans in Afghanistan, including a year inside Afghanistan's Presidential Palace. He has served as a United States Navy officer for 26 years.

While in Afghanistan, Captain Zellem became fascinated with the way Afghans use Proverbs in their daily conversations. He began collecting and translating them, and used them every day with Afghans in his professional and personal life. After students at a local Kabul high school offered to create illustrations, he decided to publish his collection and share it with the world.
