The Flying Lion

The Flying Lion; Folk Tales from South Africa Publisher: Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Center for Arabic Language, Kalima Project for Translation Publisher's note: This series gathers the heritage of peoples through tales, legends, and popular myths. The tales are distributed across 72 books, selected from works created by prominent anthropologists at the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century, during the peak of anthropology when many scholars explored the heritage of peoples, recording and documenting their stories before they were lost. These books include tales from European, Asian, American, African, and other countries. The series aims to build bridges of communication between the peoples of the earth and their civilizations, and to enhance the deep cultural unity among different races, nationalities, and cultures, bringing them together under one roof — the roof of culture, knowledge, and words that unite rather than divide. It confirms that what humanity has called "globalization" for over two decades was actually achieved centuries or even thousands of years ago.
