categories Does Prestashop have taxonomies ?

[Zaidar]

Hi, coming from WordPress I'm used to the notion of taxonomies (Custom Categories you can create to add to your products to better reflect what it belongs to)

For example, if I have a book product, in WordPress I would have the categories for the book, but I could create an author taxonomy (which is still a category but with another name)

How in prestashop 1.7, could I create a custom taxonomy for my books ? I need to have for example an Author taxonomy, which will only be displayed on some pages and on the product page.
A book will have one or more author it belongs to, and I would like it to be reflected on the product page, or people to be able to search by author name.

I understand creating a category Author could make the trick, and creating subcategories for each specific author could maybe works, but it feels a little like a hack.
TLDR : Isn't a way to create custom categories in Prestashop 1.7 ?

Thank you for every help I can get.
