Creation myths tell us how the land, its animals, and its people all came into existence under a punishing sun or against the backdrop of a spectacularly beautiful mountain landscape. Whether warning children about the dangers of disobedience or demonstrating that the underdog can, and often does, win, these stories, through their depiction of wise animals as well as evil monsters, are universal in their portrayal of humanity, beasts, and the mystical. Translated from their original languages—Karanga, Nguni, Xhosa, and many others—these folktales are a testament to the craft of storytelling and the power of myth.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 267mmItem Length: 257mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 670gContributor: Nelson Mandela (Edited by)Author: Nelson MandelaGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Fiction, FantasyRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
