Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Wit and Wisdom in Morocco; A Study of Native Proverbs' is a comprehensive exploration of the rich oral traditions and linguistic heritage of Morocco. Compiled by the renowned sociologist and anthropologist Edward Westermarck, this seminal work delves into the profound cultural insights embedded within the daily speech of the Moroccan people. The book provides an extensive collection of native proverbs, meticulously recorded and analyzed to reveal the underlying social values, religious beliefs, and practical philosophy of the region.Westermarck's study goes beyond a simple list of sayings; it offers a detailed investigation into the context, usage, and regional variations of these expressions across different tribes and urban centers. By examining the wit and moral guidance found in these proverbs, the author sheds light on the complexities of Moroccan life, from domestic relations and business ethics to spiritual devotion and folklore. This work remains an invaluable resource for scholars of anthropology, linguistics, and North African history, offering a rare window into the traditional mindset and expressive power of the Maghreb.
