In few words

a compendium of Latino folk wit and wisdom : a bilingual collection = En pocas palabras

1st ed.

by

"This generous compilation of Latino folk sayings - dichos - brings us the wit and wisdom of Latino people in a bilingual edition that will delight readers of English and Spanish alike."--BOOK JACKET.

"Arranged by theme, these dichos express prevailing attitudes about subjects from Ability, Adversity, and Advice to Work, Writing, and Youth. Many clearly spring from the Latino soul - "Neither renewed love, nor reheated chocolate" - while others convey more universal themes - "Writing has a good memory, it lasts forever.""--BOOK JACKET.

"In Few Words/En Pocas Palabras provides a glimpse into the heart of a people. It is an invaluable resource for anyone learning or celebrating the Spanish language and Hispanic culture."--BOOK JACKET.
