Introducing the youth novel DJÊLA, The Pact of Love and Reason, written by Macaire ETTY and published by JD Editions.
DJÊLA, The Pact of Love and Reason is a novel inspired by the myth of Zaouli, a popular dance practiced by the Gouro communities in Côte d'Ivoire. Macaire ETTY masterfully revisits this myth by transposing it into a captivating novelistic universe. The author introduces us to this enchanting dance that has seduced and amazed many people, especially during traditional ceremonies. Zaouli is both a dance and music that pays tribute to female beauty, symbolized by a mask worn by a man.
On December 6, 2017, UNESCO inscribed Zaouli on the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity, reinforcing the author's desire to produce a literary work based on this founding myth. Macaire ETTY aims to explore African myths, epics, and historical figures, often overlooked in literature, through several works. He also wrote Saramani, the Forbidden Epic to highlight the decisive role of Nanan Triban in the liberation of Manding.
In writing this novel, the author relied on various versions of Zaouli's story, while allowing himself some deviations, silences, and whims to imprint his personal touch on the myth. With DJÊLA, The Pact of Love and Reason, Macaire ETTY contributes to the promotion of African myths and African culture as a whole.
