Jean Morris

    Britská autorka, která začala svou kariéru psaním detektivních románů pod pseudonymem Kenneth O'Hara. Později se prosadila jako J M Morris vydáváním YA fantasy románů. Její díla, často zasazená do propracovaných světů jako technologicky vyspělá Atlantida, zkoumají složité vztahy mezi lidmi, mýtickými bytostmi a božstvy. Morrisiny příběhy se vyznačují hloubkou a často revizionistickým přístupem k známým mýtům a pohádkám.

      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
