n this sequel
to 'The Lost World of The Kalahari' Laurens van Der Post
records everything he has learned of the life and the
lore of Africa's first inhabitants. Van Der Post wrote
this book as a loving tribute to a people of rare
imagination and spirit: "I find the thought of what
black and white did to the bushman almost more than I can
endure. I could not alas, bring him alive again: yet it
seemed to me some atonement would be accomplished if I
helped to see that the meaning his life held for him
should not perish as he perished. I felt it a debt of
honour long overdue to gather into our own what was
living in his spirit."
