Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Fifth Impression. xii, 96 p., map, preface, general remarks, notes; 20 cm. "Sundiata is an epic poem of the Malinke people that tells the story of the hero Sundiata Keita (died 1255), the founder of the Mali Empire. The epic is an instance of oral tradition, going back to the 13th century and narrated by generations of griot poets or jeliw (djeli). There is no single or authoritative version. Material pertaining to the epic first began to be collected during the early 20th century in French Sudan, notably by the French elite school ?cole William Ponty, resulting in the "modern" version of the tale as considered standard today, based on the oral account by Djeli Mamoudou Kouyate, a griot or traditional oral historian, translated into French by Djibril Tamsir Niane in 1960." (Wikipedia). Clean pages with very minor warping in small sections, owner signature on inside of front cover; bright vermilion cover with small stain on back. Seller Inventory # 102300
