Subject:Proverbs Book

I am an Egyptian American M.D. working as a technologist at Joslin  
Diabetes Center in Boston, M.A.
I have recently published this book which was written by my father  
Hezkial Bestourous. He was the chairman of the English studies for  
the American Mission Schools in Egypt.

The book contains over 1490 proverbs written in Arabic, translated  
and given the meaning in English and transliterated.
These proverbs are short phrases of profound wisdom, arranged in a  
simple easy to remember rhyme, that give advice or teach a moral lesson.
These proverbs are true window into the Egyptian culture and reflect  
its hopes and dreams as well as its disappointments and pain.
Proverbs said accurately in the right context will lit up faces and  
open the way for friendships.

This book is a treasure, folk wisdom passed from one generation to  
the next teaching customs, generosity and hospitality.

I am presenting this book to you hoping it would be useful for  
students who are studying Arabic and people interested in the  
Egyptian culture.

To see sample of these proverbs and order online, go to my website:

Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks.
Leila Bestourous
