内容説明
Proverbs offer a unique record of human wisdom and culture and their value and fascination stretch far beyond the familiar cliches like 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth'. Comprising over 5000 entries, Cassell's Dictionary of Proverbs covers every part of the world and all periods of history. In each case the article pinpoints precisely what the proverb means, where it originated, when it was first used, and its subsequent history. This definitive collection provides an essential reference tool for casual browsers, writers searching for the right pithy epigram and anyone who is interested in popular wisdom.
