Chemakanda the Storyteller (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Martha Matsvai, in this her third book, waxes lyrical as she digs deep into the cultural reservoir of folk tales to present stories around the mysterious and enigmatic Chemakanda whose magnetic attraction to children knew no bounds. In these truly engaging short stories, with some of them being anthropomorphic (where an animal acts like a human being) like the golden folktales of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, the reader is invited into an atmosphere of captivating intrigue which makes it impossible to put the book down before the story is done. The stories are full of adventure, humour and perennial lessons on human living across the age spectrum which leave one with a sense of deep satisfaction and therapeutic engagement. One cannot wait to 'devour' them all. Welcome to Chemakanda's world... Dr Paul Matsvai Series Editor

Autor

Mrs. Martha Matsvai (nee Mutamiri) is a Christian, wife, storyteller, mother to four grown up children and grandmother to four lively grandchildren to whom this book is dedicated. She is a nurse by profession and was born in Harare, Zimbabwe where she was steeped in traditional folklore from the cradle mediated in large measure by her late father Mr. GDF Mutamiri whose own stories will be for another day. She is passionate about the positive contribution that women and children can make in the family having been born in a family that was initially dominated by girl children but where the children were valued equally. She is an advocate of agency in human interaction and encourages all people to discover their voice that can lead to better community relations. In it all, being one with nature is the hallmark of harmonious co-existence between man and the natural habitat of flora and fauna. Dr. Paul Matsvai Series Editor and privileged husband of 35 years.
