Amidst the colors, sounds and landscapes of African territory, Legends of Africa , by Júlio Emílio Braz, and illustrated by Douglas Lopes and Vitória Gomes, celebrates all the richness of African culture through ancestral narratives, which reveal themselves to be current and full of meaning.
Where the sun paints the sky brilliantly and the savannah stretches as far as the eye can see, incredible stories are passed down from generation to generation. The African continent is the birthplace of legends steeped in mystery and enchantment.
Like rivers flowing with ancestral wisdom, its ancient culture was one of the foundations of Brazilian society and remains present in the blood of each of us. As the African proverb says: "A good tree is one that remembers the seed that bore it."
Legends of Africa , now in a new edition, with illustrations by Douglas Lopes and Vitória Gomes, transports us to a world of vibrant colors in a magical time when animals confronted each other through both fights and intelligent and fun discussions.
