About the Author

Captain Edward Zellem has served as a United States Navy officer for 26 years. A trained Dari (Afghan Farsi) speaker, he worked with Afghans for a year and a half in Kabul and Kandahar, including a year inside Afghanistan's Presidential Palace.

While in Afghanistan he collected and used Afghan Proverbs every day and began collecting, translating and transliterating them into English.

After art students at a Kabul high school created illustrations, his collection became "Afghan Proverbs Illustrated," followed by bilingual editions in German, French, Russian, Swedish, Portuguese and Polish. More information at afghanproverbs.com.
