''Kiunangi: Or Story And History From Central Africa'' is a book written by Arthur Cornwallis Madan and published in 1887. The book is a collection of stories and historical accounts from Central Africa, specifically from the region that is now known as Tanzania. Madan was a British colonial administrator who spent several years in East Africa, and the book is based on his experiences and observations during his time there.The book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of stories and legends from the region, which Madan collected from local people during his travels. These stories include tales of heroic warriors, magical creatures, and supernatural events. Madan presents these stories as a way of giving readers a glimpse into the cultural traditions and beliefs of the people of Central Africa.The second part of the book is a more traditional historical account of the region. Madan provides a detailed overview of the political and social history of the area, from the earliest known civilizations to the present day (as of 1887). He discusses the impact of European colonization on the region, as well as the conflicts and struggles that arose as a result.Overall, ''Kiunangi: Or Story And History From Central Africa'' is a fascinating look at a region and culture that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time of its publication. Madan’s firsthand accounts and detailed research provide a valuable historical record of a region that has undergone significant changes in the years since the book was written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
