Negative Positive
Title: Unique resource for cultural awareness
Review: This bilingual book (wonder where Volume I may be found?) by a now-departed eminent and accomplished linguist is a unique resource for cultural awareness. This is a gem, and with more insights than most of the larger (and largely-superficial) similar annotated collections of Arabic proverbs and epithets.I had the honor many years ago to see Isa Khalil Sabbagh "in action" while he advised and interpreted during a high-level US-Saudi Arabia bilateral conference in Washington, DC.Well worth the price, and more.
Is the review positive or negative?
