Proverbs in Irish by Garry Bannister

Proverbs in Irish grants the reader a look into the vast and rich world of aphoristic Irish folk-wisdom, as vibrant today as they were then. Chosen on the basis of relevance in the modern context, universality, frequency of usage, and cultural relevance, the book is organised by an array of themes, from Anger, Beauty and Marriage to Foolishness, Silence and Treachery. A must have at home or abroad.
