Nomads Tales

by Catherine Gendrin, ill. by several
These earthmen have movement as a style of life. Tuareg, Sioux, Mongol, Chukchi, Arab, Berber people, on horses, sleighs, caravans or camels: these processions of many different latitudes all have in common a strong oral tradition. Tales issued from the culture of nomadic people tell about the status of girls, family life, wisdom of these tribes that often had to fight to survive. But also laughing and laughing at, for the greatest pleasure of travelling readers!
