A book to pick up and enjoy in little bits,
By cnyadan (Bavaria, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Treasury of Polish Aphorisms (Hardcover)
This isn't the type of book you would necessarily sit down and read through from cover to cover because it's basically a collection of short quotes - aphorisms - with the original Polish on one side, the English on the other side, and a few illustrations throughout the book. For a book to look at when you have just a couple minutes, or your mind is wandering, this book is terrific for the wit and wisdom to be found within. Here are a couple examples: No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. Friendship after love is like smoke after fire. He who accepts slavery once will never be free.

Excellent selection of Polish aphorisms and folk wisdom,
By Jagoda Urban-Klaehn "PolishSite Host at: http... (Idaho Falls, ID USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Treasury of Polish Aphorisms (Hardcover)
I recommend this book to everybody interested in Polish culture, Polish literature and Polish folk wisdom. It contains the selection of aphorisms from works of almost all prominent Polish writers, poets and even some politicians as well as some folk proverbs.
Excellent translation by Jacek Galazka, nice graphics. Since it is a bilingual edition - it can serve as a pleasant way to learn Polish (or English). |
