Book Description
In his English Proverbs and Their Near Equivalents in Spanish, French Italian and Latin, Professor Luis Iscla illustrates the universality of the proverbs based on a common origin: Human experience. Although Professor Iscla attends only to four languages of Latin origin, research in other families of languages would undoubtedly yield similar results.

Book Description
This dictionary assembles 3,246 English proverbs and thousands of equivalents in five national Romance languages: French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. The Dictionary is a very useful reference tool for scholars of these languages, for researchers working in various associated fields such as linguistics, literature, folklore, anthropology, psychology, sociology, history, and for workers in newer areas such as advertising and contemporary media. The Dictionary is also of benefit to diplomats and politicians who try to improve their communication by sharing ideas formulated in some common meaningful expressions; it will assist interpreters and translators, and teachers and students for whom it is important to understand not only what the target culture expresses in the same way as their own, but also what is formulated in a different way. Finally, the Dictionary will be of great interest to non-professionals who, for the sheer enjoyment of it, wish to savour the wisdom, wit, poetry and the colourful language of proverbs.

Book Description
God and the Devil is a collection of proverbs on these two vast themes. It lists English proverbs and many equivalents in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Latin. Although the equivalent proverbs in European languages are numerous, for various reasons, above all cultural, not all the proverbs are uniformly distributed: Proverbs are like butterflies, some are caught, some fly away.
