At the turn of the new millennium it was appointed a UNESCO ?Masterpiece in the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Mankind?, signalling its global significance. It sits alongside Homer?s Iliad and Odyssey , or the South Asian Mah?bh?rata and R?m?yana , although politics and language have during the twentieth century conspired against allowing it to become as well known. In contrast to previously published material, this book focuses on one septegenarian contemporary performer, Saparbek Kasmambetov who inherited the oral tradition of his culture, adding details and other elements to his storytelling, as he saw fit. Consequently, the volume does not offer a literal translation in poetic form, but is presented as a story ? as originally intended; the contextual/historical account situates Soviet/Kyrgyz with Western accounts of Manas and other epic heroic poetry. Part I offers a translation of seven episodes from the Manas , as sung by Saparbek, with accompanying CDs ? the translations of all the episodes being based on the recordings. Part II comprises three chapters examining oral epic poetry and the Manas ; the Kyrgyz Manas recorded, performed and studies; finally, a study of Saparbek Kasmambetov ? the performer. The accompanying plates are the work of Gouljan Arslan, Saparbek Kasmambetov?s granddaughter. 606 $aEpic literature, Kyrgyz$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEpic poetry$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEpic literature, Kyrgyz$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEpic poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a894.347 700 $aHoward$b Keith$0111145 701 $aKasmambetov$b Saparbek$0995962 701 $aSultanova$b Razia$0995963 701 $aKasmambetova$b Gulnara$0995964 701 $aArslan$b Gouljan$0995965 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463506703321 996 $aSinging the Kyrgyz Manas$92282201 997 $aUNINA
