Product Description
Sunjata: A New Prose Version
<DIV>"After existing orally for hundreds of years, <I>Sunjata</I> 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 <I>Sunjata</I> its well-deserved place among the great epics of world literature."<BR /> —Martin Puchner, Byron and Anita Wien Professor of Drama and of English and Comparative Literature, Harvard University</DIV>
