Folk Tales Of A Savage is a collection of short stories and fables written by Lobagola, a pseudonym for the author who claimed to be a native of the Congo. The book was first published in 1930 and is considered a classic of African literature. The stories in Folk Tales Of A Savage are based on traditional African folklore and are infused with Lobagola's own unique perspective and wit. They cover a wide range of topics, from the origins of the world and the nature of good and evil to the adventures of animals and the exploits of human heroes. One of the most notable features of the book is its use of language. Lobagola wrote in a style that was deliberately simple and direct, using a mix of English and African idioms to create a distinctive voice. The result is a collection of stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking, and that offer a window into the rich cultural heritage of Africa. Overall, Folk Tales Of A Savage is a must-read for anyone interested in African literature, folklore, or culture. It is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and delight readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
