Forest of a Thousand Daemons: A Hunter's Saga"His total conviction in multiple existences within our physical world is as much an inspiration to some of the most brilliant fiction in Yoruba writing as it is a deeply felt urge to 'justify the ways of God to man.'"

"His total conviction in multiple existences within our physical world is as much an inspiration to some of the most brilliant fiction in Yoruba writing as it is a deeply felt urge to 'justify the ways of God to man.'"--Wole Soyinka, translator and Nobel Laureate A classic work of African literature, Forest of a Thousand Daemons is the first novel to be written in the Yoruba language. First published in Nigeria in 1939, it is one of that country's most revered and widely read works, and its influence on Nigerian literature is profound, most notably in the works of Amos Tutuola. A triumph of the mythic imagination, the narrative unfolds in a landscape where, true to Yoruba cosmology, human, natural, and supernatural beings are compellingly and wonderfully alive at once: a world of warriors, sages and kings; magical trees and snake people; spirits, Ghommids, and bog-trolls. Here are the adventures of Akara-ogun--son of a brave warrior and wicked witch--as he journeys into the forest, encountering and dealing with all-too-real unforeseen forces, engaging in dynamic spiritual and moral relationships with personifications of his fate, projections of the terrors that haunt man. Distinguished Nobel Prize-winning author Wole Soyinka offers a supple and elegant translation and provides an essay on the special challenges of translating Fagunwa from the Yoruba into English, along with a glossary of Yoruba and unfamiliar words. With illustrations by acclaimed Nigerian printmaker Bruce Onobrakpeya. Daniel Orowole Fagunwa was born in western Nigeria in 1903. He died in a motorcycle accident in 1963. Praise for Forest of a Thousand Daemons "A deep tale of the spirit; a classic of the African imagination."--Ben Okri "Fagunwa is as important to the Nigerian imagination as Grimm's tales to the Western imagination. Except that Fagunwa's book is not a collection of oral tales, but an original modern novel, one that sets out to test the limits of the form of the novel, the range of myth and its overlap into daily life. Soyinka offers us not a simple translation but a complex and truly respectful re-rendering. With this tender touch by Soyinka, Fagunwa's book comes alive - reanimated in this new language. Beautiful, important and endlessly fascinating. A must read."--Chris Abani, author of The Virgin of Flames and The Secret History of Las Vegas Praise for the contributors: "The work of Fagunwa stands at the head of creative writing in the Yor b language and exerts the most pervasive influence on every category of Yor b literary expression. . . . He responded early to the need for a literature in the vernacular, at a moment when a new cultural consciousness began to emerge out of changing social conditions."--Abiola Irele, scholar of African literature "Among the Africans who deserve some kind of secular sainthood is Wole Soyinka."--The New York Times "Mr. Onobrakpeya . . . is one of the best known and most prolific African printmakers."--The New York TimesBinding Type: Paperback

Good quality.
Size: 15"+15"+13"
I needed to replace the wiper blades on my Jeep Wrangler JK, so I first went to a local auto parts store. The prices were pretty expensive, and they didn’t even have the correct replacement for my rear wiper blade.
That’s when I decided to order the UTOBOO 15"+15" Windshield Wipers with 13 Inch Rear Wiper Blade Replacement online, and I’m really glad I did.
The set arrived quickly and included everything I needed for both the front and rear wipers. Installation was very easy and only took a few minutes. They fit well on my Jeep, and the blades feel sturdy and made from good-quality materials.
After using them, they wipe smoothly and leave the windshield clean without streaks, which is exactly what you want, especially in rain or dusty conditions.
Overall, this is a great value compared to buying individual blades in-store, and it’s especially convenient since it includes the rear wiper replacement too. I would definitely recommend these to other Jeep Wrangler owners looking for an affordable and reliable option.
------Tip, don't forget to take off the green plastic, If you check the comments many people argues that the wipers don't work but in the pictures you can see they did not take off the green plastic protector. ----

Love
Size: 26+20+14"
I recently purchased the AUTOBOO 26” + 20” windshield wipers with the 14” rear blade, and I’m honestly very happy with them. Installation was quick and straightforward, even without much experience changing wipers. They fit perfectly on my car and clicked into place securely.
The wiping performance is smooth and quiet, with no streaks or squeaking, even during heavy rain. I also noticed they clear water evenly across the windshield, which makes driving feel much safer, especially at night or on the highway.
The rear 14” blade works just as well and was a nice bonus since it’s sometimes harder to find a good rear wiper included in a set.
Overall, this set offers great value for the price, and I would definitely buy them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, easy-to-install windshield wipers.

Decent wipers for a great price
Size: 28+28+11
These fit my daughters Ford Escape perfectly and the day after installation, it rained. The wipers work really well and the windshield is now streak free once again and the price was right. Easy to change and look good.
