Tales of the peoples of Africa

Nikolay Albertovich Kun (1877-1940) is a writer and historian, author of the popular book "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece". No less interesting is the collection "Tales of the Peoples of Africa". It contains stories of the Hottentots, Zulus, Bechuanas, Ovagereros, Somalis and other peoples of Africa. Tales tell of monsters and sorcerers, cannibals and animals, of wonderful adventures. Africans are looking for answers to questions: how was the world created, where did diseases come from, why does the jackal have a variegated stripe on its back?.. In addition to the tales, Nikolay Kun gives a detailed description of each tribe, in which he explains the features of its way of life. The publication is supplemented with black and white illustrations and photographs.
