Russian-English Dictionary of Proverbs and Sayings
Author: Alexander Margulis
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476609578
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
This dictionary contains 2,375 Russian sayings and proverbs and their English counterparts. Variants of each saying are included, and careful attention is given to the differences in British and American versions. For example, the Russian saying that is interpreted as "Children behave in a childish way, and they cannot be expected to act like grown-up people," is first given in Russian (in the Cyrillic alphabet) and then in English, and is then followed by the nearest English-language equivalent sayings in Britain and the United States: "Young colts will canter" (British) and "Boys will be boys" (American). The proverbs and sayings are arranged alphabetically by the first Russian word (in the Cyrillic alphabet) and are cross-referenced so the reader can find analogous Russian versions of English sayings. There is a keyword index for each language (one in English, one in Russian in the Cyrillic alphabet), which allows the reader to find a proverb or a saying without knowing the first word. Proverbs and sayings are current and include those popular in both spoken Russian and literature. The prefatory matter is in both English and Russian, for readers who have a command of either language.

A Dictionary of American Proverbs
Author: Wolfgang Mieder
Publisher: New York : Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195053990
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 1348
Book Description
Americans have a gift for coining proverbs. "A picture is worth a thousand words" was not, as you might imagine, the product of ancient Chinese wisdom -- it was actually minted by advertising executive Fred Barnard in a 1921 advertisement for Printer's Ink magazine. After all, Americans are first and foremost a practical people and proverbs can be loosely defined as pithy statements that are generally accepted as true and useful. The next logical step would be to gather all of this wisdom together for a truly American celebration of shrewd advice.A Dictionary of American Proverbs is the first major collection of proverbs in the English language based on oral sources rather than written ones. Listed alphabetically according to their most significant key word, it features over 15,000 entries including uniquely American proverbs that have never before been recorded, as well as thousands of traditional proverbs that have found their way into American speech from classical, biblical, British, continental European, and American literature. Based on the fieldwork conducted over thirty years by the American Dialect Society, this volume is complete with historical references to the earliest written sources, and supplies variants and recorded geographical distribution after each proverb.Many surprised await the reader in this vast treasure trove of wit and wisdom. Collected here are nuggets of popular wisdom on all aspects of American life: weather, agriculture, travel, money, business, food, neighbors, friends, manners, government, politics, law, health, education, religion, music, song, and dance. And, to further enhance browsing pleasure, the editors have provided a detailed guide to the use of the work. While it's true that many of our best known proverbs have been supplied by the ever-present "Anonymous," many more can be attributed to some very famous Americans, like Ernest Hemingway, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas Alva Edison, Abigail Adams, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, to name but a few offered in this fascinating collection.Who wouldn't want to know the origin of "the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings?" This uniquely American proverb and many more are gathered together in A Dictionary of American Proverbs. A great resource for students and scholars of literature, psychology, folklore, linguistics, anthropology, and cultural history, this endlessly intriguing volume is also a delightful companion for anyone with an interest in American culture.

There Is a Lid for Every Pot
Author: Shae Primus

ISBN: 9781540571694
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
We all want to find our ideal match, the lid that perfectly fits our own unique pot. But finding the right partner can often feel more like grunt work. Especially today where the modern dating world-with seemingly millions of new rules and conventions-can leave you feeling frazzled, discouraged, and frankly, unworthy. When you take that into account, it's clear that we all could use a little help. The problem with most modern dating advice, however, is that it can leave you feeling even worse off-focusing on what you lack and what you need to fix, rather than celebrating and affirming what you do have and the qualities that already make you a good match. In There is a Lid for Every Pot, Shae Primus, Certified Matchmaker and Dating Coach, gives practical advice to single professionals who are looking for a mate. From the insightful analysis on today's dating landscape to special exercises that help you go beyond the surface, to special affirmations designed to be positive and uplifting, There is a Lid For Every Pot Takes commonplace, shallow dating advice and turns it on its head. Instead of focusing on "getting" the guy or girl at all costs, readers can explore how to first be better people and better partners. They can take stock of and celebrate what makes them uniquely dateable, turning the age-old love game into one you'll actually want to play for a change.

The Conscious Hours
Author: Stephen Lissberger
Publisher: Virtualbookworm Publishing
ISBN: 1589397711
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Represented in this novel is a microcosm of what lies beneath the civilized facade of a New York society, and what lies are fed to gullible believers. Any facsimile to real persons or events may or may not be coincidental. That primarily depends on the point of view of the guilty as well as the innocent, and how they perceive themselves. Eric Soloman represents an effort to coerce the mind's eye to focus on two perspectives at the same time, that of the participant and that of the observer. The insurmountable anxieties throttling his ambition and the community in which he lives comprise the collisions that drive him to the point of inevitable madness. The contagious complacency of a self-serving society is the only thing separating him from possible acceptance. His struggles reflect the natural instincts of survival. His heart houses two windows. One through which he sees COURAGE, the other COWARDICE in his uncertain quest for life's elusive meaning.

The Comfort of Lies
Author: Randy Susan Meyers
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451673035
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
“Happiness at someone else’s expense came at a price. Tia had imagined judgment from the first kiss that she and Nathan shared. All year, she’d waited to be punished for being in love, and in truth, she believed that whatever consequences came her way would be deserved.” Five years ago, Tia fell into obsessive love with a man she could never have. Married, and the father of two boys, Nathan was unavailable in every way. When she became pregnant, he disappeared, and she gave up her baby for adoption. Five years ago, Caroline, a dedicated pathologist, reluctantly adopted a baby to please her husband. She prayed her misgivings would disappear; instead, she’s questioning whether she’s cut out for the role of wife and mother. Five years ago, Juliette considered her life ideal: she had a solid marriage, two beautiful young sons, and a thriving business. Then she discovered Nathan’s affair. He promised he’d never stray again, and she trusted him. But when Juliette intercepts a letter to her husband from Tia that contains pictures of a child with a deep resemblance to her husband, her world crumbles once more. How could Nathan deny his daughter? And if he’s kept this a secret from her, what else is he hiding? Desperate for the truth, Juliette goes in search of the little girl. And before long, the three women and Nathan are on a collision course with consequences that none of them could have predicted. Riveting and arresting, The Comfort of Lies explores the collateral damage of infidelity and the dark, private struggles many of us experience but rarely reveal.
