Linguist and ethonologist, Nicole Revel has lived and worked among the mountain populations in the Philippine archipelago since 1970. Over the years, she developed a close friendship with the bard Mäsinu Intaräy, which makes this volume shine with a rare authenticity. The author shows us the heart of the mystery of this memorized epic, as it was interpreted by Mämiminbin and sung by Mäsinu. The text of this chanted epic is presented in its entirety, transcribed in Palawan and translated into both French and English. Eight photographs transport the reader into the peaceful and mysterious Palawan world. The book includes eight black and white photos and one CD (not sold separately). Book coedited with UNESCO Press.
