Contes zaghawa

by Michel Leiris, Joseph Tubiana, Marie-José Tubiana

"De redoutables personnages - ogres, monstres dotés de plusieurs têtes, esprits aux formes inquiétantes, géants avides et méchants, sans compter le lion, l'hyène et le chacal avec leurs appétits de carnivores - comptent parmi les principaux protagonistes de ces fables, dont la majorité paraît tendre à prouver que l'astuce, arme des faibles contre les forts, est la vertu cardinale au moins autant que le courage." (Michel Leiris)
