Zusammenfassung:"The epic of Son-Jara (also known as Sanjata or Sundiata) celebrates the exploits of the legendary founder of the Empire of Old Mali and is still widely recited among Mandekan-speaking peoples of West Africa today. As performed by griots, or professional bards, it embodies deeply rooted aspects of Mande cosmology and worldview. This edition of the epic presents the full, linear Mandekan text side by side with John William Johnson's English translation. Fully annotated and explained, this edition of Son-Jara provides historical and contextual frameworks for understanding this African epic."--BOOK JACKET.
