About This Item

(no place: Voortrekkerpers, 1966). Author's signed presentation inscription to front free endpaper reads: "Mev. Benjamin. Stap net hierdie kort rukkie saam op die lang pad van die verlede en vergeet die sorge van die lewe ... / J Bruwer, 20.12,66, U.P.E." 8vo; original pale blue boards, lettered in black on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 125. Dustwrapper rubbed and edgeworn; foxed throughout. Good. Afrikaans text. "Professor Johannes P. van S. Bruwer is hoogleraar in die Volkekunde aan die Universiteit van Port Elizabeth. Hy is afkomstig uit die Klein-Karoo waar hy sy skoolopleiding te Barrydale en Montagu ontvang het. Nadat hy sy onderwyssertifikaat verwerf het, vertrek hy in 1935 as twintigjarige jong man na Noord-Rhodesië (Zambië) waar hy hom tot 1950 aan sendingwerk onder die Bantoe wy. Gedurende hierdie jare het hy verskeie Bantoetale aangeleer en ook baie navorsingswerk onder hulle verrig. Hy het sy loopbaan op Kamoto, op die grens van die Luangwarivier begin. Dit was destyds nog 'n wilde, afgeleë wêreld en dikwels het hy vir meer as ses maande geen blanke gesien nie. Met sy draers het hy soms wekelank in die Luangwavallei rondgeswerf en sodoende die gewoontes van talle wildsoorte deeglik leer ken. Die ervarings wat in hierdie bundel oorvertel word, is slegs enkele episodes uit 'n kleurryke en avontuurlike verblyf in dié vallei." .
