Na základě ústního podání lidového vesnického vypravěče, tradičního griota, zapsal a převyprávěl autor tuto hrdinskou ságu o vzniku jedné z nejmocnějších říší středověké Afriky, Mandingu. Jeho vyprávění je nejen vylíčením osudů slavného panovníka Sundaty, ale i v širším pojetí bohatým pramenem k samotné historii Afriky.
