About the Book

Kining sugilanon usa ka epiko nga naglungkob sa gugma ug pakigbisog sa duha ka mga bayani nga mao si Indanan ug Banaki. Ang pagtukib sa matag pulong gepa-haum sa usa ka balaknon nga pamaagi.

Duha ka mga batang lalaki nga nagagikan sa managlahing ang-ang sa katilingban. Usa ka Maharlika ug usa ka Ulipon. Apan luyo sa tanan, namugma ang panaghigalang sandurot tali kanilang duha. Latas sa katuigan, managsama nilang gi-angkon ang katakos, kaisog ug kinadman sa natad sa pakigsangka. Apan ang gugma sa usa ka babaye ug ang gugmang walay sukod alang sa yutang natawhan mao ang nagsi-ak sa ilang pagka-managhigala. Busa namugna ang bugno maiunong sa pagtuo ug baruganan. Kabanay batok sa ilang kabanay, katribo batok sa ilang katribo. Walay puas ang madug-anong panagsangka aron lamang mupatigbabaw ang baruganan nga gitohuan nilang matarong.

Mapalgan sa matag anib niining sugilanon ang sining sa pakig-away, pagpanglingla, pagpaniktik, pagpanglupig ug ang balaanong tinguha aron makab-ot ang gibahanding kagawasan.

Kini nga sugilanon atong kapanalaminan sa kasamtangang nahitabo karon sa atong nasud. Atong palamboon ang panitikang Pilipinhon! Atong higugmaon ang kulturang Bisaya!
