| Summary | "Uit den Kunstschat der Bakongos" by Ivo Struyf is a collection of African fables, myths, comedic stories, and educational tales written in the early 20th century. This work aims to present the oral traditions and the rich cultural heritage of the Bakongo people, a Bantu ethnic group from the Congo region. The stories included showcase various aspects of their folklore, particularly the morals and societal norms inherent in their narratives. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to the author's motivation and approach in gathering these stories during his time in the Kwango mission. Struyf shares insights into the oral tradition of storytelling among the Bakongos, reflecting on how tales are passed down generations, often performed with considerable artistry and rhythm. He emphasizes the significance of these stories as a means to understand the customs, beliefs, and values of the Bakongo people, positioning the tales as a treasure trove of knowledge about their way of life.
