Epic Tales of the Philippines - Tribal Lores of Filipinos (Paperback, New): Artemio R. Guillermo Epic Tales of the Philippines - Tribal Lores of Filipinos (Paperback, New)
Artemio R. Guillermo

Epic Tales of the Philippines is an anthology of epic stories, retold in narrative form, from original ballads and poems of major tribal groups of the country. Like their European paradigms, the epic tales explore themes of good and evil, loyalty, justice, and love. Heroes are endowed with superhuman qualities in their quest for adventure, vendetta, and romance. Tribal epics are distinctive for the presence of the magical betel nut, which plays a crucial role in the plot. Previously published and unpublished epics are expertly compiled and edited for individual reading to provide an invaluable source in the study of Philippine folkloristics and Asian literature.

The A to Z of the Philippines (Paperback): Artemio R. Guillermo, May Kyi Win The A to Z of the Philippines (Paperback)
Artemio R. Guillermo, May Kyi Win
R1,347 Discovery Miles 13 470 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Philippines belong to one of the most rapidly developing parts of the world, and it is impossible to understand Asia without it. This second edition, a greatly expanded and updated version of the first, is essential reading for those interested in Asia, as well as the millions of Filipinos who have made their homes abroad. The A to Z of the Philippines provides more than 400 hundred entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions, as well as salient economic, social and cultural aspects. The more than four centuries of the Philippines history covered by Guillermo, including the periods of Spanish and American dominance over the country, is neatly wrapped up in an introduction, clearly laid out in a chronology, complemented with statistical data in the appendix, and concluded with a bibliography allowing further research and study.
