Contes de la forêt et de la savane

Fables d'ici et d'ailleurs

by Ntsama Abah, Balafun studio by K. Willy

"Contes de la forêt et de la savane (Fables d'ici et d'ailleurs)" is a collection of tales that immerses us at the crossroads of different Cameroonian cultures and, in a broader sense, of Central Africa. Here, through a very surprising mixture of French-speaking literature and mother tongue which is based on this particular cultural context, the author allows the power and delicacy of oral transmission to shine through in all simplicity in our regions. Consisting of ten tales of unequal lengths, the book presents the exceptional adventures of different living beings in which man meets much more than his “animal” or “insect” brothers… Indeed, and through these multiple adventures, the reader rubs shoulders with wisdom as well as its history and that of the world in which he lives.

Zog & Mob (Cartoon)

Curiosity

by Patrice Mballa Asse

Zog and Mob are two extraterrestrials who happily sail through space, awful unattached jojos, not at all entangled by family, school and society. They travel from planet to planet, looking for a football match, a pint of beer, a disco or a treasure. Their adventures are not always in the best of taste and they often start a fight, even if they don't always look for one, but they always get out of it by trickery or escape. It's completely crazy and full of energy.
