PAUPER, BRAWLER AND SLANDERER

Book ID/图书代码： 04560014B70911

English Summary/英文概要： Drawing on the Yoruba folk tradition, Amos Tutuola’s tales combine the resonance of universal myth with reflections on a range of human vagaries. The leading characters of Pauper, Brawler and Slanderer are all forced to embark on journeys of no return, leading to incidents and adventures in classic Tutuola style. There is a ploughing competition for the hand of the beautiful Popondoro, and the reign of Pauper and Slanderer in the town of women is inevitably brief. This is Tutuola at his most vivid and funny, at his wisest and most imaginative.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 阿莫斯·图图奥拉的故事借鉴了约鲁巴的民间传统，将世界神话的共鸣与对人类迷走片的反思结合在一起。贫民、斗殴者和诽谤者的主角都被迫踏上了无止境的旅程，这就是典型的图图拉风格的事件和冒险故事。这是一场争夺美丽波波多罗之手的耕耘比赛，而贫民和诽谤者在妇女之城的统治不可避免地短暂。这是图图奥拉最生动、最有趣、最睿智、最富有想象力的作品。（Sandy）
