Leggende yoruba � una raccolta fondamentale di miti e racconti tradizionali del popolo yoruba, provenienti dall'area dell'odierna Nigeria sud-occidentale. Attraverso una prosa chiara e rispettosa del ritmo originario della narrazione orale, il volume restituisce un universo popolato da d�i, animali parlanti, eroi astuti e forze naturali personificate, offrendo al lettore un accesso diretto all'immaginario e alla visione del mondo yoruba.
Le storie qui raccolte spiegano l'origine di fenomeni naturali, di usanze sociali e di caratteristiche degli animali, intrecciando ironia, saggezza e crudelt� primitiva. Figure ricorrenti come la Tartaruga, simbolo di astuzia e ambiguit� morale, o divinit� come Sango e Orisa Oko, incarnano valori, paure e ideali di una societ� antica, in cui il confine tra il mondo umano e quello spirituale � permeabile e costantemente attraversato.Oltre al valore narrativo, il libro possiede una forte rilevanza culturale e storica: Leggende yoruba non � soltanto una raccolta di fiabe, ma un documento che preserva una tradizione orale millenaria, consentendo al lettore contemporaneo di comprendere la struttura etica, simbolica e cosmologica di una delle pi� ricche culture dell'Africa occidentale.Autri Books: - Autri Books è una prestigiosa casa editrice dedicata alla traduzione e alla conservazione dei grandi classici della letteratura e della filosofia.

Ogumefu, M. I.: - M. I. Ogumefu è stato uno studioso e raccoglitore di tradizioni orali dell'Africa occidentale, con particolare attenzione al patrimonio culturale e narrativo del popolo yoruba. Operando tra la fine del XIX e l'inizio del XX secolo, dedicò il suo lavoro alla trascrizione, traduzione e interpretazione di miti, leggende e racconti popolari, contribuendo in modo significativo alla conservazione di un corpus narrativo che fino ad allora era stato tramandato quasi esclusivamente per via orale.
