Kolkata, IN: Seagull Books, 2013. Hardcover. New/New. 5x1x8. [FICTION]. MDA, Zakes. "The Sculptors of Mapungubwe." Kolkata, IN: Seagull Books, 2013. English language. Hardcover. 8.25 x 5.25 x 1 in. 21 x 13 x 3 cm. 15 oz. 304 pp. Still in shrink-wrap. Text clean. New in New jacket. ISBN: 9780857420954."In the timeless kingdom of Mapungubwe, the royal sculptor had two sons, Chata and Rendani. As they grew, so grew their rivalryÃâand their extraordinary talents. But while Rendani became a master carver of the animals that run in the wild hills and lush valleys of the land, Chata learned to carve fantastic beings from his dreams, creatures never before seen on the Earth. From this natural rivalry between brothers, Zakes Mda crafts an irresistibly rich fable of love and family. What makes the better art, perfect mimicry or inspiration? Who makes the better wife, a princess or a mysterious dancer? Ageless and contemporary, deceptive in its simplicity and mythical in its scope, The Sculptors of Mapungubwe encompasses all we know of love, envy, and the artistââ¬â¢s primal power to forge art from nature and nature into art. Mdaââ¬â¢s newest novel will only strengthen his international reputation as one of the most trenchant voices of South Africa.
