About This Item

(Cape Town: Buren-Uitgewers, 1969). 8vo; original yellow boards; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (viii) + 156; monochrome plates; map to lower panel of dustwrapper. Afrikaans text. This book was also released in English in 1968 as "Fabled Tribe". Dustwrapper somewhat rubbed and edgeworn, with some pen marks to lower panel; regular browning and a little spotting. Good condition. 'Hierdie boek is die verhaal van 'n ekspedisie wat na 'n verlore stam Rivier-Boesmans gaan soek het. Volgens oorlewering was hulle oorblyfsels van 'n primitiewe ras wat in die hartjie van die Okavangomoeras in Botswana gelewe het. Hierdie ontsaglike moerasgebied word selde besoek, behalwe van tyd tot tyd deur jagters en ontdekkingsreisigers. Dit is 'n gevaarlike gebied wat wemel van krokodille, seekoeie, tsetsevlieë en malariamuskiete. 'n Span van die Witwatersrandse Universiteit het na die moeras gegaan om die geheim van die "volk van fabels" op te los. Hierdie soektog het hulle met geharde krokodiljagters as gidse en beskermers onderneem. Uiteindelik het hulle ná talle wedervaringe en avonture hul "prooi" gevind - die oorblyfsels van 'n verlore stam. Die ekspedisie het met dié groepie mense saamgelewe en hul bevindinge na die beskawing teruggebring.' .
