Book ID/图书代码： 11320018C00033
English Summary/英文概要： Laurens van der Post was fascinated and appalled at the fate of this remarkable people. Ostracised by all the changing face of African cultural life they retreated deep into the Kalahari desert. His fascinating attempt to capture their way of life and the secrets of their ancient heritage provide captivating reading and a unique insight into a forgotten way of life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书记录了一场神秘的非洲部落探寻之旅，对象是荒漠布须曼人。据说，他们是世界上最早人类形态的代表，能够在狮群中来去自如而毫发无伤；知道如何骗过鸵鸟，使其变成“母鸡”为自己下蛋；更知道如何在荒漠中保存好珍贵的水资源以备不时之需。他们征服了世界上最贫瘠的土地，却在近代以来的殖民侵略历史中败下阵来，被所谓“文明人”污蔑为肮脏的野蛮人、无耻的小偷、残忍的野兽而肆意虐杀，终至于行将灭绝。
然而，事实的真相如何？真正的布须曼人到底是怎样的？借由本书，作者带领我们深入荒漠之心，见证真正的布须曼人如何生活、狩猎，由此不仅一一戳破侵略者的谎言，也开启了人类学界研究布须曼人的先河；本书亦因此成为拯救布须曼人免于灭绝命运的伟大著作。(DB)
Awards/获奖情况："The Lost World of the Kalahari (1958) and The Heart of the Hunter (1961)...are loathed by San scholars and serious ethnologists. But they matter. Van der Post gave a face and a story to a discarded people before anyone else thought to do so." (Guardian)
"A master storyteller, he had the knack of identifying the significant, poetical image" (Sunday Times)

Laurens van der Post was born in Africa in 1906. Most of his adult life was spent his time
divided between Africa and England. His professions of writer and farmer were interrupted
by ten years in the army, behind enemy lines in Abyssinia, the Western Desert and the
Far East where he was taken prisoner by the Japanese while commanding a small
guerrilla unit. He went straight from prison back to active service in Java. He was awarded
the C BE for his services in the field.
