El Bosque de Los Pigmeos by Isabel Allende
Alexander et Nadia, deux adolescents, accompagnent Kate, journaliste au National Geographic, dans ses expeditions. Ce qui aurait du etre un reportage paisible sur les safaris a dos d'elephant en Afrique prend une tout autre tournure quand leur avion fait un atterrissage force pres d'un village bantou dirige par un pretendu sorcier... Celui-ci seme la terreur chez les villageois et dans le peuple pygmee des forets alentour, qu'il a reduit en esclavage. Kate prisonniere, Nadia et Alexander s'enfoncent dans la foret et rejoignent les Pygmees, partis a la chasse a l'elephant, pour les convaincre de se rebeller...La Foret des Pygmees vient clore la trilogie entamee avec La Cite des dieux sauvages et poursuivie avec Le Royaume du Dragon d'or.
Isabel Allende won worldwide acclaim in 1982 with the publication of her first novel, The House of the Spirits. Since then, she has authored twenty-five bestselling and critically acclaimed books, which have been translated into more than forty-two languages. In addition to her work as a writer, Allende devotes much of her time to human rights causes. In 1996, following the death of her daughter, Paula Frias, she established a charitable foundation in her honor, which has awarded grants to more than one hundred nonprofits worldwide on behalf of women and girls. In 2014, President Barack Obama awarded Allende the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, and in 2018 she received the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation. She has also received PEN Center USA's Lifetime Achievement Award. Raised in Chile, she now lives in California.
