Óscar Ribas

Óscar Bento Ribas was born on 17 August 1909 in Luanda, to a Portuguese father and an Angolan mother. He published his first novels at the end of the twenties, then gradually lost his sight, which did not stop him from writing or from carrying out fieldwork. At the beginning of the fifties, he turned to African themes and recorded in Portuguese the oral tradition of the Mbundu, their beliefs, their rites and their language. He died in Lisbon on 19 June 2004.
