Description

"Finns say that proverbs contribute in three ways to their national solidarity. First, proverbs preserve much of their forebears' knowledge, customs, and counsel. Second, they beautify and strengthen the speech of the nation; they add to the pungency of human discourse. Third, their proverbs serve as guides to those who wish to study Finnish language and life. Enjoy these short, pithy statements from the land where the Kalavala was born, where words, not swords, were the tools of the magicians."--Amazon
