Sobre este artículo
Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 1999; First Edition; quarto; two volumes; black cloth; gilt titles; woven cloth marker ribbon. Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher’s extraordinary photographic study chronicling pagan ceremonial rites of the various black tribes from across the African continent -- North, East, South, West, and Central Africa. Much-detailed chapters covering practices related to birth and initiation, courtship and marriage, royalty and power, changing of the seasons, spirits and ancestors, etc., with explanations of the beliefs behind them. Profusely illustrated with hundreds of mesmerizing color photographs. A unique and astonishing work, nearly 750 pages in length. Fine, in a Fine slipcase. Warmly inscribed and signed in the blank margin of the title page of each volume by Hollywood screen actress Yvette Mimieux to notable screenwriter Gloria Katz, "For Gloria, celebrating the big adventures of life. With Love, Yvette." The women first met In 1975 while Mimieux’s husband Stanley Donen was directing "Lucky Lady," for which Katz and her husband Willard Huyck wrote the screenplay, and the two retained a life-long friendship.
