The Lost World Of The Kalahari

Paperback. English. Penguin Books. 1962. In fair condition.

Hounded by the races, black and white, that invaded southern Africa, the diminutive Bushmen have been driven deep into the waterless Kalahari Desert, leaving behind them a legend of Wild Men - gay, gallant, mischievous, and to the end unrepentant and defiant. Here, with the rare narrative gift of 'Venture to the Interior', Colonel van der Post records his rediscovery of these outcast survivors of Stone Age Africa with their cave art, their spontaneous music-making and their uncanny hunting skill.
