Description
Amkoullel, such is the nickname borne by the young Hampâté Bâ when, at the beginning of the 20th century, he was initiated into age-old family traditions. Attending French school at the same time as the Koranic, running the savannah while relatives left for a war that was said to be global, but which concerned them so little, listening to the great masters of the word, he himself became, without realizing it, a griot, guarantor and repository of an oral civilization in full mutation. At once an adventure novel, a portrait of morals and a historical fresco, this book restores in a delicious and limpid language all the richness, the colors and the life of the great African oral story.
