Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating collection of proverbs and fables from the Lomongo-speaking people of the Congo. It provides a unique window into the wisdom and worldview of a culture deeply connected to its natural surroundings. The author, a missionary, has painstakingly compiled these sayings, many of which express practical truths, moral lessons, and insights into the Lomongo people's daily lives. The book also reveals their customs, thoughts, and aspirations, offering glimpses of their beliefs and values. The proverbs, with their pithy and often poetic style, are not only a valuable resource for understanding the Lomongo language, but they also provide a rich source of cultural and anthropological insights.
