DE DESEJO
In this book, Pierre Fatumbi Verger gathered and patiently annotated tales, which are based on the narratives of African diviners. It should be recalled that the legends presented here are just a tiny fraction of the vast universe of stories that a babalawo must memorize during the course of his apprenticeship.

Carybe's vigorous and expressive illustrations interpret the magical spirit of the orishas with love, sensitivity and detailed ethnographic data.
