Reviews

[David Campton]

A highly disposable book that has an eclectic collection of proverbs from around the world. Some of them, I hope are only strange because of translation, or cultural context, but a frightening number are misogynist and deeply cynical about the human condition. It might also give you a warped sense of nation attitudes, with Bulgarians perhaps being particularly maligned in the selection within this book... But I wouldn't base too much on such a slight volume...
