About the book

The most extensive bi-lingual Twi Proverbs Dictionary published since JG Christaller's book was first published in 1879. Kwame Anthony Appiah's introduction demonstrates how these proverbs can be interpreted within the tested and contested theories of meaning and literary production to show how they compare with philosophical musings from ancient Greece to England. An invaluable collection of over 7000 proverbs that speak to the nuances of Akan and Asante life, thought, belief and social organisation.
