This book Tales of the forest: Giant snakes and enchanting women, part of my multimedia project 'My Indigenous Roots' on the world's oral traditions, as the subtitle indicates, focuses on 'giant animals and enchanting women' that existed and still exist in a timeless time where you might encounter them... could you recognise and face them?

In this second volume there are three more stories from the Ashaninka and Asheninka mythology where strange anthropomorphic animal characters appear such as the giant snake in Marranquito and bewitching beings in Juana the enchantress or as in the case of Jarunka.

Angelo Giammarresi was born in the splendid and sunny Sicily. Director, multimedia producer, ethnographer has produced over 80 documentaries.
