Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition; First Printing. Light tone, light wear. Solid hardcover.; English translation of massive anthology of African literature. "The present volume is a work of compilation. For this reason I consider it a duty to indicate exactly in the bibliography the date and place of… publication of the works upon which I have drawn. I have given these tales just as the missionaries and explorers brought them to Europe, and just as they are published. They are not always the most original versions nor the most faithful translation. It is much to be regretted that literary exactitude was not the only legitimate preoccupation of these distant travellers." - Foreword by the author. ; 378 pages.
