Saynday's People: The Kiowa Indians and the Stories They Told
ISBN: 9780803251250 / Angielski / Miękka / 1963 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Saynday's People brings together two related volumes by the distinguished ethnologist and author Alice Marriott. The Saynday of the title and the central figure of Winter-Telling Stories is a combination of trickster and hero peculiar to Asiatic and American Indian mythology. He could do almost anything when he was using his medicine power for good, but Saynday was a great joker and when playing tricks often got what was coming to him. Indians on Horseback is both a history of the Kiowas and a vivid account of their way of life. The narrative is enriched not only by detailed descriptions of...

The Ten Grandmothers: Epic of the Kiowas
ISBN: 9780806118253 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Once in a blue moon (which means a fairly long cycle in my case) one who deals professionally with new books comes upon something that seems to him truly noteworthy and memorable-a reading experience which he will cherish for the rest of his life. And when this book is original and, indeed, unique-when it achieves something that has never been done before-one's impulse is to rent a billboard, to hire a hall, in some way to underline and emphasize the excitement and enthusiasm of his discovery, so that other readers may share his pleasure. "This has been my experience with The Ten... Once in a blue moon (which means a fairly long cycle in my case) one who deals professionally with new books comes upon something that seems to hi... |

Hell on Horses and Women
ISBN: 9780806124827 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The world of the West has been from the beginning a man's world, but there are homes and wives and children there, too. And although the time of water hauled in barrels and of homemade candles is long past, the ranch wife of today must be prepared to deal with housekeeping, shopping, and personal problems in wholly original ways as the need arises. For ranches are usually far from town and neighbors are scattered, so that good humor and a good sense of humor, as well as the more conventional virtues of courage and fortitude, must be possessed by the ranch woman. For more than... The world of the West has been from the beginning a man's world, but there are homes and wives and children there, too. And although the time of wa... |

Songs of the Tewa: American Indian Home Songs, Sacred Chants, Ceremonial Songs, Magic Songs & Prayers
ISBN: 9780865341937 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For centuries the American Indian literary tradition was primarily an oral one. Since written languages were rare among native North and South American cultures, all literature-myth, legend, story, poetry-was passed along the generations through memory and the spoken word. Herbert Joseph Spinden collected these at a time-around 1933-when the Indian poetic voice was a nameless one. The songs included here are of that period and his translations of Tewa ritual and secular songs are remarkable for their sensitivity to and consonance with Tewa (Pueblo) thought. This copyrighted edition includes...
