Product description

About the Author

Captain Edward Zellem has served as a United States Navy officer for 29 years. A trained Dari speaker, he worked side-by-side with Afghans every day for a year and a half in Kabul and Kandahar, including a year inside Afghanistan's Presidential Palace. While in Afghanistan he collected and used Dari Proverbs every day in his professional life, in the streets and back alleys of Kabul, and in other parts of the country. He became fascinated by the colorfulness and cultural relevancy of Dari Proverbs, and began collecting, translating and transliterating them into English. After art students at a Kabul high school created illustrations, his collection became "Zarbul Masalha: 151 Afghan Dari Proverbs" (published in May 2012) and now its full-color companion volume for young readers, "Afghan Proverbs Illustrated."

Captain Edward Zellem (USN, Ret.) is the 12-time award-winning author of 3 bilingual books of Afghan Dari and Pashto proverbs, now published in 20 languages. He served worldwide as an active duty U.S. Navy officer for 30 years. As a trained Dari speaker, he spent a year and a half embedded daily on native Afghan teams in Afghanistan. This included a year inside Afghanistan's Presidential Palace serving on President Hamid Karzai's staff.

While in Afghanistan, Captain Zellem became fascinated with the way Afghans use Proverbs in their daily conversations. He began collecting and translating them, and used them every day with Afghans in his professional and personal life. After students at a local Kabul high school offered to create illustrations, he decided to publish his collection and share it with the world.
