Finnish Words-for-the-Wise,
By A Customer
This review is from: Finnish Proverbs (Paperback)
Fourth in a series of books of proverbs, this book has a beautiful introductory poem by Inkeri Väänänen-Jensen based on her visit to Finland. The proverbs are illustrated with pen and ink drawings showing sites in Finland such as Olavinlinna and Turku Castles, Porvoo Cathedral, Finlandia Hall, the Jean Sibelius Monument, fifteenth-century Church of Saint Anne, Eliel Saarinen's Helsinki Railway Station and other monuments. The sauna, birchbark blankets, weavings and other facets important to Finnish culture are shown.The proverbs of Poverty and Plenty, Religion and Hope, Nature and the Seasons, Philosophy, Words of Wisdom, and other headings reflect the folk-sayings of a people. Examples of Finnish Proverbs: "When thinking of yourself, you have no time for others." "You are rich if you have love." "Know your own worth, recognize others." "A fallen tree cannot rise." "He is poor who has no soul." "The time for miracles is not over." Other titles in the Proverb Series include German Proverbs, Scandinavian Proverbs, and Scottish Proverbs.
