Jean Morris

    Cette écrivaine britannique a commencé sa carrière en écrivant des romans policiers sous le pseudonyme de Kenneth O'Hara avant de s'établir en tant que J M Morris avec de la fantasy pour jeunes adultes. Ses œuvres, souvent situées dans des mondes richement conçus comme une Atlantide technologiquement avancée, explorent des relations complexes entre humains, êtres mythiques et divinités. Les récits de Morris se caractérisent par leur profondeur et une approche révisionniste des mythes et contes de fées familiers.

      This book is about the tribal people of Southern Africa who have ceased to exist. So much has changed, so much is changing and so much has already been lost. Dr Martin West and Jean Norris have collaborated to create an image in words and pictures of what remains of the traditional African way of life in South Africa. All the major groups are described; their customs, rituals and dress are shown and the meanings discussed. This is a record of a way of life centuries old but now, inexorably, drawing to an end. It may well be that at some point in the future, all that will remain of this proud heritage will be its oblique reflection in the new emerging black society
