THE VILLAGE WITCH DOCTOR AND OTHER STORIES

Book ID/图书代码： 04560014B70910

English Summary/英文概要： Yoruba legend and culture were the source of much of Amos Tutuola’s writing and the stories collected here are no exception. They feature characters from folklore, archetypal figures from Yoruba society, supernatural or magical happenings, acute human observation and often a moral point. Their very titles - from ’The Duckling Brothers and their Disobedient Sister’ to ’Don’t Pay Bad for Bad’ - are evocative of a unique blend of tradition and imagination, which belongs to the same universal culture as Aesop and the Brothers Grimm.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 约鲁巴的传说和文化是阿莫斯·图图奥拉大部分作品的来源，这里收集的故事也不例外。这些故事以民间传说中的人物、约鲁巴社会的原型人物、超自然或神奇的事件、敏锐的人类观察和常常是道德的观点为特征。（Sandy）
