The Village Witch Doctor and Other Stories
Author: Amos Tutuola
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571311334
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Yoruba legend and culture were the source of much of Amos Tutuola's writing and the stories collected here are no exception. They feature characters from folklore, archetypal figures from Yoruba society, supernatural or magical happenings, acute human observation and often a moral point. Their very titles - from 'The Duckling Brothers and their Disobedient Sister' to 'Don't Pay Bad for Bad' - are evocative of a unique blend of tradition and imagination, which belongs to the same universal culture as Aesop and the Brothers Grimm.

A Brigand for a Night and Other Tales
Author: Madhavi N. Gunasheela
Publisher: Partridge Publishing
ISBN: 1482837358
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The short stories in this book span different genres from sagas to comedy to horror. Set in different time frames in both urban and rural settings, it makes for a combination of sorts. The author, having experienced an amalgam of cultures, has fashioned a potpourri, infusing the mystical east into the discriminative west. Prevailing social concerns and common Indian traditions have been played out to question the readers views and will empower them to adopt a new mirror for reflection of outdated societal values and ways. Women play the lead role in few stories, indicating the authors strong need to highlight issues uniquely known only to women. An occasional international backdrop emphasizes the coziness of our global village and shrinking boundaries. Humor sprinkled generously as a tasty topping ensures the reader of a perpetual smile. Every grim thought uncovered amidst hilarious plots leaves the reader laughing at the otherwise dark circumstance. Light and easy to read, this book would be an ideal companion for a rainy afternoon or a lazy Sunday. It would transport you to different worlds at a dizzying speed, leaving you wanting to quickly return to relive the journey of the protagonist.
