Seven Bites From A Raisin is a collection of folk Proverbs From the Armenian. -- David Kherdian, poet, novelist, translator and author of the award-winning biography \'The Road From Home\'..
It is the proverbs\' immediacy that catches us here, confronting us in our nakedness by showing us who and what we are: simple, vulnerable mortals on a wobbly journey through life.
These Proverbs in Peter Manuelian\'s masterful hand oblige us to relate to their wisdom, not just From ideas but From our experiences.
With introduction, preface to the new edition, and endnotes.
The wise and foolish, saints and rascals, along with camels, donkeys, eagles, goats, lions and wolves all parade their antics through this bi-lingual collection of Armenian proverbs.
Pithy bouquets From an oriental garden, these 199 gleanings shed a new tinge of delight and the charms and foibles of humanity and offer a view into a culture From older and more traditional times.
It is now being re-issued by the author/translator in a new bilingual edition.
First published in English-only in 1980, the book has long been out-of-print.
