Lumières obscures

by François Olinga Mbida

Description

Little is known about the Ekang literature of the Bantu peoples today. This oral literature, carried over the last century by incomparable elders, is very often conveyed by the virtuosos of mvet. Dark Lights by François Olinga Mbida revives this flame. Through these stories, he tries to put these riches within the reach of the readership, despite its esoteric subtleties.
