It is the epic tale, based on an actual figure, of Sundiata (Sunjata). Part history and part legend, it tells how Sundiata fulfilled the prophesies that he would unite the twelve kingdoms of Mali into a powerful empire.\nThis Revised Edition includes background information which provides a geographical, religious, social, and political context for the story. A ‘who’s who of characters’ and ‘a glossary of places’ will enhance the reader’s experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LONGMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945253564469,"sku":"ByrdShop_1405849428","price":28.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781405849425_2d20a3b5-996b-4d51-90de-b99b716a92c5.jpg?v=1778969164","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sundiata-an-epic-of-old-mali-revised-edition-longman-african-writers-9781405849425","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
