About the author

Captain Edward Zellem is the award-winning author of three bilingual books of Afghan Proverbs, now published in 15 languages. He is a U.S. Navy officer and trained Dari speaker who spent a year and a half embedded on native Afghan teams in Afghanistan. This included a year on President Hamid Karzai's staff inside the Afghan Presidential Palace.

While in Afghanistan, Captain Zellem became fascinated with the way Afghans use Proverbs in their daily conversations. He began collecting and translating them, and used them every day with Afghans in his professional and personal life. After students at a local Kabul high school offered to create illustrations, he decided to publish his collection as a personal project to share with the world.

The Afghan Proverbs Collection has received praise from luminaries such as General David H. Petraeus, Kabul University's Nancy Dupree, Afghan National Security Adviser Rangin Dadfar Spanta, the Princess Salimah Aga Khan, and many other well-known personalities.

The Afghan Proverbs books are available in over 100 countries through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and over 100 other major book retailers. Edward Zellem also publishes a popular series of online interviews with Afghan celebrities and thought leaders.
