About the book
An engaging political allegory set in the African savanna, where animals gather to choose a new president. The narrative satirizes corruption, demagoguery, and the struggle for power in nascent democracies, interweaving political conflict with traditional fables. Kourouma offers a sharp critique of electoral processes and the fragility of democratic institutions in post-colonial contexts.
