Description
Ewket (Knowledge) is a highly thoughtful collection of philosophical essays and intellectual musings written by Paulos Gnogno. Having dropped out of school in the 4th grade yet successfully teaching himself to become one of Ethiopia's most celebrated intellectual titans, Paulos uses this book to critique traditional views on learning and wisdom. He argues that true enlightenment comes from constant reading, questioning, and curiosity rather than just pursuing academic certificates or financial raises. Written in his hallmark straightforward, conversational Amharic prose, the text serves as an inspiring, timeless call to self-education for Horn of Africa readers. [1, 2, 3]
