African Aphorisms: Or Saws From Swahili Land is a book written by William Ernest Taylor and published in 1891. The book is a collection of proverbs and sayings from the Swahili language, which is spoken in East Africa. The author, who was a British colonial administrator in the region, compiled these aphorisms as a way of preserving the wisdom and cultural heritage of the Swahili people. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a specific theme, such as love, friendship, or wisdom. The aphorisms are presented in both Swahili and English, with the original Swahili text followed by a translation and explanation of the meaning. The aphorisms in African Aphorisms: Or Saws From Swahili Land are often concise and pithy, conveying a deep insight or moral lesson in just a few words. They reflect the values and beliefs of the Swahili people, who place a high value on community, hospitality, and respect for elders. Overall, African Aphorisms: Or Saws From Swahili Land is a fascinating glimpse into the culture and language of East Africa, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in African literature or philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
