Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales

Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales

Alan Rickman
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
'NELSON MANDELA'S FAVORITE AFRICAN FOLKTALES' is a a very special audiobook as it is benefiting children orphaned and impacted by HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

In these beloved stories we meet a Kenyan lion named Simba, a snake with seven heads, and tricksters from Zulu folklore; we hear the voices of the scheming hyena, and we learn from a Khoi fable how animals acquired their tails and horns. 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.




RUNNING TIME ⇒ 3hrs. and 43mins.
