This compact book tells traditional stories and folk tales from the African nation of Chad. This is a translation done in 2006, published in 2007, of a much older book written originally in French. (The translator engaged with the author's daughter in Chad during the translation process.) The book includes 14 tales the author describes as traditional stories that are recounted during nights by the fire during village celebrations. Directionally similar to A Thousand Nights and a Night, the stories are often archetypal, but they are much shorter and geographically specific to Chad. Sometime quaint and clever but more often laden with artificially erudite and unnecessary adjectives, the book leaves one wishing they could experience the stories orally around a fire in the African savanna. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Romanticised scenes from Seid's boyhood as well as stories from the golden age of empires and other timeless tales in this collection evoke positive images of Chad and Africa more generally. African readers, young and old, regardless of locality, will hear echoes of the folktales, fables and legends narrated by their grandmothers of an evening by the fire under the stars.

An excellent collection of short myths, legends, and folk tales from Chad. This book deserves to be far better known than it is, and I'm half tempted to shell out fifteen bucks to Amazon to have my own copy. ( )
