Proverbs are fascinating in what they tell us about a culture’s view of everyday life: whether it be the importance of animals or the significance of the weather, proverbial wisdom is a key factor in understanding different peoples and cultures. The world’s leading commentator on language takes us on a global tour of the world’s proverbs. David Crystal, one of the world’s leading commentators on language, tackles the proverbs of the world. A new anthology of global proverbs has not been compiled for over 70 years.
