Resumen del Editor
Do you like epic tales that sing the deeds of the world’s greatest heroes?
If so, you will love this volume of epics from the West African country of Mali. Each is full of battles, derring-do, magic, and prophecies based on historical events. The Epic of Sunjata tells the tale of the great 13th century king of the Mali Empire, Sunjata Keita, who started life as a disabled boy, but rose to become one of Mali’s greatest warriors, and king of a vast empire.
The Epic of Bakaridjan Koné, a proud epic in its own right, is but a part of the larger Epic of Bambara Segu, one of the longest African epics, detailing the history of the Segu Empire, which lasted from 1712 to 1861. Like Sunjata, Bakaridjan Koné is a formidable warrior. However, he has no designs on power, preferring only to serve his king with valorous deeds.
Here are just a few of the amazing episodes you’ll listen to in these epics:
- How a hunter prophesied that Sunjata would become the king of a great empire.
- How Sunjata was disabled at birth, but learned to walk and gained superhuman strength.
- Sunjata’s exile from Mali and his growth into manhood.
- How Sunjata fought and defeated the evil sorcerer-king, Sumanguru Kanté.
- How a Muslim soothsayer prophesied that Bakaridjan Koné would outshine all of the king’s sons and become the greatest warrior of Segu.
- How Bakaridjan Koné performed the deeds of a hero while he was yet a boy.
- How Bakaridjan Koné defeated an evil water jinni that even King Da Monzon was afraid to challenge.
- How Bakaridjan Koné lost his honor, and then regained it.
- How King Da Monzon tried to assassinate Bakaridjan, but was foiled by Bakaridjan’s son.

Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing interpretation of British history - these are just some of the themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as The Mabinogion. They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar.

The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological, and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc.

This first instalment in the Chronicles tells of Rodrigo’s rise to prominence when he became the champion of Prince Sancho of Castile. This is but the beginning of a tale which still stirs the blood a millennium after it began. The legend that was El Cid began more than 1,000 years ago, and time has meant that reality and fiction are intertwined like the threads of a spider’s web.
