No matter where we come from, we all have our unique local
expressions and proverbs that raise confused eyebrows when
translated literally. These phrases usually carry humor and wisdom
at their core, but are only fully understood in their native
language. A Roving Eye explores some of these phrases and sayings
from one of the world's most expressive tongues, Egyptian Arabic,
the most widely spoken form of Arabic. Including some one hundred
popular phrases and proverbs, all linked to parts of the body and
features of the face, A Roving Eye uses striking black-and-white
photography to bring these expressions to life. The result is a
book that will delight both learners and native speakers of Arabic,
as well as lovers of Egypt who have little knowledge of the
language. Each phrase or saying features a photograph, the original
expression in Arabic, its transliteration, and its equivalents in
English (both literal and proverbial). The whole book makes a
perfect gift or a fun read for family and friends.
