Beschreibung

In Chronicles of Ori, her debut book, Harmonia Rosales retells the African myths she has long treasured, crafting an enthralling epic that spans the birth of the universe to the modern world of colonialism and resistance. She writes of the powerful, temperamental deities called the Orishas; of the founding of Yorubaland by the shrewd leader Oduduwa; of the young heroine Eve, born in a time of violence and despair, who would help her people regain their past splendour; and of shimmering serpents and monstrous shadows who stalk the lands of mortals. At the centre of these linked tales is the bond, sometimes fraying, between the Orishas and the humans who worship them. Vividly brought to life by Rosales's artwork, Chronicles of Ori will enlighten and delight readers for years to come.
