Russian Proverbs and Their French Analogues

A proverb is a bright saying that contains a thought, a moral, and reflects the life experience of our ancestors.
Having reached us from the depths of the centuries, proverbs have no authorship; they are a collective folk creativity that is... an integral part of the cultural heritage of the country. Passed down from mouth to mouth, proverbs have transformed, absorbed the color of the eras, and gained new meanings to reach us in the form we are used to hearing them.
Proverbs enrich our speech with their originality and unique national charm; they are widely used in advertising, titles, and sometimes even receive continuations. This book offers a selection of the most commonly used French proverbs with their Russian equivalents and invites readers to explore the linguistic richness of two countries, two cultures.
