I could use some book recommendations. I am looking for folk tale collections which are

1. from cultures outside of Europe, and

2. were written by people from that culture.

Ideally, they should also be translated into English (or German) by people from that culture as well.

It would also be a plus if they contain a lot of "local legends" which incorporate local geography and history (as opposed to "fairy tales" which take place at indeterminable places and times).

"كيف يمكن ألا يستطيع الإنسان أن يسير إلى ملكه الخاص؟ أن يزور قبر زوجته؟ أن يأكل ثمار أربعين جيلاً من كدح أسلافه من دون أن يعاقب بالموت رمياً بالرصاص؟ على نحو ما، لم يكن هذا السؤال الفجّ القاسي قد نفذ سابقاً إلي وعي اللاجئين الذين شوشتهم أبدية الانتظار، معلقين آمالهم على قرارات دولية نظرية" "How can a person not be able to walk to their own realm? To visit the spouse's grave? To eat the fruits of forty generations of the ancestors' toil without being punished by death by firing squad? In a way, this harsh, blunt question had not previously penetrated the consciousness of the refugees, who were bewildered by the eternity of waiting, pinning their hopes on hypothetical international decisions." ― Susan Abulhawa, in "Mornings in Jenin" (2006) poke @palestine@fedibird.com#exile #refugees #israelPalestine #PalestinianLivesMatter #OPT #WestBank #ethnicCleansing #RightToReturn #quotes #bookStodon #book

A WALL IS ALSO A ROAD comes out Tuesday 10/6, and that's when the Slime Mold Autumn book tour starts! @chanda@blacktwitter.io praised the book as a "magnificent work of cosmic imagination" and CB Lee called it "beautiful." Yumei Kitasei said, "Single-celled eukaryotes have never been so sexy." See me in San Francisco (10/6), Chicago (10/7), New York Comic-con (10/9), Boston (10/14), Burlington VT (10/15), and in Ottawa at Can*Con (10/17-18). #books #bookstodon #scifi #history #science

So the idea of Bookhouse is basically inspired by this book from 1979 called ‘Masquerade’ by an artist called Kit Williams. He hid a golden hare in the UK and wrote this book and filled it full of paintings as the clues to where the treasure is buried. I’m trying to do the same. But different. #kitwilliams #goldenhare #masquerade #treasurehunt #puzzlebook #bookstodon #reading #game

The view from the top is built one small block at a time. Big goals aren't reached through giant leaps—they're won by showing up every day and executing the process with discipline. Idea. Goal. Plan. Action. Consistency. Focus on the routine today, and let the success take care of itself. Which step are you working on right now? #Introduction #Mastodon #FediTips #Photography #MastoArt #Bookstodon #Linux #FOSS #ScienceMastodon #Caturday NA Nikolie Astrid
