About This Item
(London: Chatto & Windus, 1986). 8vo; original blue boards; price-clipped laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xxi + (i) + 326, incl. index. Dustwrapper very slightly sunned on spine panel; regular, light browning; top edge a little foxed; occasional spotting. Very good condition. "The result is a book brimming with ideas, insights, people and events; at once thoughtful and exciting, mellow yet full of promise, autobiographical but also topical. For all the apparent diversity of its elements - world leaders, writers, tribespeople, politicians, intriguing stories of human and animal life - they are held together by Laurens van der Post's distinctive and cohesive vision. All form part of a whole, a positive, healing, unifying outlook which is sustained by a strong set of values forged from a lifetime of intense experience and challenge. For those who have never ventured with Laurens van der Post before, A Walk with a White Bushman offers a tempting preamble to many longer explorations. For those who have, it offers the kind of renewed inspiration of which there can never be too much." .
