The astonishing autobiographical story of a young man's upbringing in a remote tribal village in Burma and his subsequent journey from his strife torn country to the tranquil quads of Cambridge. In lyrical prose, Pascal Khoo Thwe describes his childhood and early days as a member of the Padaung hill tribe, where ancestor worship and communion with spirits blended with the tribe's recent conversion to Christianity. In the 1930s, Pascal's grandfather (and head of the clan) captured an Italian Jesuit, mistaking him for a giant or a wild beast, the Jesuit in turn converted the tribe. The Padaung are famous for their 'giraffe women', so called because their necks are ritually elongated with ornamental copper rings. Pascal's grandmother had been exhibited in a touring Bertram Mills Circus in England as a 'freak'. Pascal developed a love of the English language through listening with his father to the BBC World Service, and it was while earning money as a waiter in a restaurant in Mandalay to pay for his studies that he met the Cambridge don John Casey, who was to prove his saviour when the brutal military regime of General Ne Win cracked down on dissidents in the late 1980s. Pascal's girlfriend was raped and murdered by soldiers, and Pascal by now a student leader, took to the jungle along with an army of students. How he was eventually rescued with Casey's help is a dramatic part of the story, which ends when Pascal is admitted to Cambridge to study his great love, English literature.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tlingit tales reveal Ravens wit and world-shaping powerRaven is a legendary cultural hero, world-maker, and trickster figure among the Tlingit of Southeast Alaska. Here his adventures appear for the first time in the original languagetranscribed directly from recordings of oral performanceaccompanied by facing English translations and detailed annotations. This volume brings together fifty stories by seven Tlingit storytellers born between 1870 and 1915. These include the oldest known audio recordings of these stories told in Tlingit and some of the longest and most detailed Raven stories in the historical record. These stories occupy a unique position and function in Tlingit oral literature. If ancestral narrative is the genres of history and tragedy, and oratory is in the genre of ceremony, then Raven stories are in the genre of comedy. Raven hops here and there, from serious origin myth to absurd comic relief. The stories often illustrate human weaknesses but expressed humorously, typically in a bewildering combination of the sacred and the scatological.Developed and passed down over millennia, these stories and the lessons they offer will amuse, engage, and resonate across the Northwest Coast and beyond. The text is rich with linguistic, literary, and cultural commentary especially for students and teachers of the Tlingit language, as well as anthropologists, linguists, and folklorists. Decades in the making, Yeil Kundayaayi, Adventures of Raven brings the wisdom and skill of these master storytellers to new generations. These include the oldest known audio recordings of these stories told in Tlingit and some of the longest and most detailed Raven stories in the historical record.
