Description:		Prepared as part of the ALMA Project (African Language Materials Archive Project) of WARC (West African Research Center), sponsored by Unesco and hosted on the WEB as part of AODL (American Overseas Digital Library), sponsored by the Council of American Overseas Research Centers and the American Institute of Yemeni Studies. "Men ye bukundin ñin bondi, wo le mu Bankoo Keebaa Karandi Yaamari Bundaa ti (National Literacy Advisory Committee)." "Faatumata Sidibe wo le foloo ye a kumankanolu safee Mandinka kano to"--P. [24]. Sunjata Keita was one of the legendary leaders of the ancient Manding (Mali) empire, which stretched over present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea and Ghana. The book tells how Sunjata was born the son of a king, but he was a cripple, unable to walk. His mother was a hunchback and mistreated by her community. Sunjata had a troubled childhood and adolescence. One day, he stood up and started to walk. The book details Sunjata's youthful exploits, his bravery as a soldier, and his success as a ruler and hero. Soundiata Keita fut l'un des figures légendaires de l'empire mandingue d'autrefois (Mali), qui s'étendait du Sénégal d'aujourd'hui au Mali et en Guinée et jusqu'au Ghana. Le livre nous raconte comment Soundjata était le fils d'un roi mais il est né handicapé, incapable de se tenir sur ses deux jambes. Sa mère était bossue et était maltraitée par sa propre communauté. Par conséquent, l'enfance et l'adolescence de Soundiata s'en trouvèrent troublées. C'est alors qu'un jour, il se tint debout et commença à marcher. Le livre décrit également les exploits de Soundiata jeune et sa bravoure en tant que guerrier, ses qualités d'homme d'état et sa réussite en tant que chef et héros. Les griots de la sous-région chantent encore sa bravoure. Sunjata Keeta mu mandin mansa le ti nun. Kitaboo ñin ke a la kuwo lu le yitandi ka birin a wuluuta ñaa men, a la dindin yaa, a la fonndinkeeyaa kono a kuu manarenkee lu men ke, a la mansayaa soto ñaa anin a ye marali kendoo men ke a jamanoo waato la.
