DESCRIPTION
"After existing orally for hundreds of years, Sunjata was written
down in the 20th century. David Conrad, who recorded a new version
of the epic, has now crafted a prose translation that preserves the
oral flavor of live performance. The result is a captivating work
of literature that will finally give the story of Sunjata its
well-deserved place among the great epics of world literature."
