About this product

Product Information

This is a revision of Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali, a best seller for 30 years. Retold by griots, the guardians of African Culture, this oral tradition has been handed down from the thirteenth century and captures all the mystery and majesty of medieval African kingship. It is the epic tale, based on an actual figure, of Sundiata (Sunjata). Part history and part legend, it tells how Sundiata fulfilled the prophesies that he would unite the twelve kingdoms of Mali into a powerful empire.This Revised Edition includes background information which provides a geographical, religious, social, and political context for the story. A ' who' s who of characters' and ' a glossary of places' will enhance the reader' s experience.

Names hard to grasp but the story isn't.
Hands down, this Epic of Old Mali is thrilling. I loved it! I did have difficulties with the names and I got confused the first read through with the people with multiple names. Overall, I just inserted my own names and that made it even better. It is a fast-paced book which keeps the reader's attention until the end. I didn't like the fact that the griots, ancient historians who usually dictate, made themselves seem beyond perfect. Other than that, I recommend this to anyone. By the way, I totally agree that Disney ripped this story off.Hands down, this Epic of Old Mali is thrilling. I loved it!
