K. Langloh Parker Livres

Začtěte se do pozoruhodných příběhů australských domorodců kmene Narran, kteří si říkají Nůngáburáové (Noongahburrahs). Na poslední chvíli tyto příběhy koncem 19. století pro nás zachránila paní Catherine (Katie) Langloh Parkerová (1856 – 1940), která se svým manželem mezi domorodci žila dvacet let. Dostanete se do světa, kde lidé žijí jednoduchým způsobem a pomocí jednoduchých nástrojů dennodenně shánějí potravu, aby přežili. Uvidíte, jak, často pomocí lsti, jedni bojují proti druhým anebo s přírodními živly a snaží se je ovlivnit magií. Setkáte se se zvířaty a ptáky pro nás exotickými, jako jsou například ježura, klokan, či emu, poznáte typická nebo oblíbená jídla domorodců a způsob, jak je připravují.

Catherine Langloh Parker was a late 19th-century writer from Northern New South Wales, Australia, renowned for her efforts in documenting Aboriginal stories. Her work provides a unique perspective on Indigenous culture and traditions, preserving the narratives of the people in her region. Through her writings, she contributed significantly to the understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal heritage during a time of significant cultural change.

This collection features 30 stories from the Noongahburrah people, offering insights into their culture and beliefs. The tales explain local landmarks, animal behaviors, and the origins of various creatures, providing a unique perspective on the natural world. As one of the earliest compilations of First Australian culture recorded post-colonization, it serves as an important document of Indigenous storytelling and heritage.

Extending deep into the caverns of humanity's oldest memories, beyond 60,000 years of history and into the Dreamtime, this collection of Australian Aboriginal myths has been passed down through the generations by tribal storytellers. The myths were compiled at the turn of the century by K. Langloh Parker, one of the first Europeans to realize their significance and spiritual sophistication. Saved from drowning by Aboriginal friends when she was just a child, Parker subsequently gained unique access to Aboriginal women and to stories that had previously eluded anthropologists.In the stories, women tell of their own initiations and ceremonies, the origins and destiny of humanity, and the behavioral codes for society. Included are stories of child-rearing practices, young love in adversity, the dangers of invoking the spiritual powers, the importance of social sharing, the role of women in male conflicts, the dark feminine, and the transformational power of language. Wise Women of the Dreamtime allows us to participate in the world's oldest stories and to begin a new dream of harmony between human society and nature.

The collection features 26 unique Australian Aboriginal Legends gathered by Catherine Stow during her time at Bangate Station in the 1890s. These stories, first published in 1930, offer insights into Aboriginal culture and traditions, distinct from her earlier works, Australian Legendary Tales and More Australian Legendary Tales. Each legend reflects the rich oral storytelling heritage of the Aboriginal people, providing a window into their beliefs and values.

Set in a timeless realm where animal spirits, supernatural beings, and humans coexist, this collection features 23 Aboriginal tales gathered by Ms. Langloh Parker. Each story delves into themes of creation and cultural significance, accompanied by a glossary that enhances understanding of the original Aboriginal language. Illustrated by Tommy McRae, the first published Aboriginal artist, these legendary tales offer a rich glimpse into Indigenous Australian folklore and artistry.
