Anthology of African Folktales - Paperback

by Emmanuel Anaman (Author)
In this Anthology of African Folktales, the author brings to bear his long experience as a graduate French teacher, a private Tutor and a professional translator in London. He draws from the rich fountain of folktales, mainly Ghanaian, and turns them into lovely jewels of art, aimed at teaching some useful day-to-day lessons and understanding the thought and attitude of the primitive African. Should we therefore not endeavour to preserve some of these tales before they are swept away by the tide of Western civilization?
Animals are often the heroes or the villains of the tales. Their words are those of human beings; their thought, behaviour and even their lives are human. The main character is the legendary Kwaku Ananse (Spider), reputed for his craftiness, wisdom, greed and cheating propensities which, invariably, land him in serious trouble and disgrace. Sometimes, one is tempted to sympathize with him, but oftentimes, one cannot but tell him: "serves you right". Above all, it is a viable work of art meant to be read and appreciated by all who desire to enjoy literature.
