Miriya & Marie, Magiciennes à Paris

Un écrivain revient dans sa ville natale au nord de l'Allemagne pour y terminer une oeuvre. Une rencontre inattendue le fait se retourner sur son passé. A travers les paysages africains et sur les traces des pionniers européens en Afrique du Sud, se dévoilera le sens d'un voyage entrepris des années auparavant. Au moment ultime de la vie, commence pour l'un des trois héros du roman Ubuntu un voyage initiatique de découverte de soi par la reconnaissance de l'autre.

In this first of five volumes of autobiography, poet Maya Angelou recounts a youth filled with disappointment, frustration, tragedy, and finally hard-won independence. Sent at a young age to live with her grandmother in Arkansas, Angelou learned a great deal from this exceptional woman and the tightly knit black community there. These very lessons carried her throughout the hardships she endured later in life, including a tragic occurrence while visiting her mother in St. Louis and her formative years spent in California--where an unwanted pregnancy changed her life forever. Marvelously told, with Angelou's "gift for language and observation," this "remarkable autobiography by an equally remarkable black woman from Arkansas captures, indelibly, a world of which most Americans are shamefully ignorant."
