Cleopatra Egypt

Opis

Author Cleopatra Egypt tells the story of Azaka, the Spirit of the Fields, whose arrogance and greed lead him to a horrible fate. Azaka's fear of losing his fortune by sharing with others reminds one of the pitfalls of capitalism as we know it. The reader is taken to the magical world of Haitian mythology, full of visual intensity, song, dance, and colorful rituals that culminate to a surprising ending. Magical Horses is a must- read that explores the archetypes of a spiritual culture that has been mystified and misunderstood. This story hits home in a way that no other folktale does.
