The Lost World of the Kalahari

In The Lost World of the Kalahari, Laurens van der Post recounts his rediscovery of the Bushmen, outcast survivors from Stone Age Africa. Faced with successive attacks, the Bushmen have retreated deep into the heart of the Kalahari Desert, now dissected by the Namibian-South African border. After a gruelling trek Laurens van der Post finds the Bushmen thriving in one of the world’™s most inhospitable landscapes. With their physical peculiarities, cave art and joyful music-making the southern African Bushmen appear to the traveller like a reminder of mankind’™s very beginnings.
