Dívka v krokodýlí kůži - Mýty a legendy národů Afriky – Pivoda Ondřej (2025)

Embark on a journey into the spiritual world of the ethnic groups and nations of Africa.

The book literally overflows with stories from more than 120 ethnic groups of mysterious sub-Saharan Africa.

You will discover that Africans also have their heroic epics and magical fairy tales. You will visit the barren Sahel, the rich coast of the Gulf of Guinea, the Sudanese region influenced by Egypt, pilgrimage sites in the Horn of Africa, savannas under Kilimanjaro, or pygmy ethnic groups in Central Africa. Following in the footsteps of Emil Holub, you will reach the Zambezi, chat with the clicking inhabitants of Southern Africa, and delve into Madagascar with its unique wildlife and ancient taboos. The book is part of the Myths and Legends series.
