Zarbul Masalha: 151 Afghan Dari Proverbs
"Ed Zellem is the first to deliver Afghan Proverbs to the world outside Afghanistan in other languages.In doing so he has contributed something unique and valuable to the world, and he has done so with his own personal hobby. I think these books help serve the cause of peace through better cultural understanding and communication."     -General David H. Petraeus (U.S. Army, ret.)"Mahee-ra har waqt az aab biggeree, taazaa ast.
