All these book were written by African authors and the comprehensive read into them can expose you into some african cultures that are not even known to europeans</strong> vice-versa, so all these are examples of literature and literature is a work of art.</p>\n<p>If you look at classic authors like William shakespeare and Oliver goldsmith and many others, all these are contemporary writers that taught people about the middle ages and the cultures and tradition of the 16th century with their poem, their prose and their dramas so even in the renaissance time and. There were so many writers who base their work and so many knowledge to be gained <strong>so reading of all this would not only bring knowledge but also entertain and teach, expecially in high schools and college about events, concerning the future, present and even the past</strong></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkxtyv6sq","appParentAuthor":"chrelye1989","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
