Présentation de l'éditeur
With all its shortcomings, after many and great difficulties, this volume of specimens of Bushman folk-lore is laid before the public. As will be seen from the lists given in Dr. Bleek sB rief Account of Bushman Folk-lore and other Texts ,C ape Town, 1875, and in myS hort Account ofF urther Bushman Material collected ,L ondon, 1889, the selections which have been made for it form but a very small portion of theB ushman native literature collected. Whether future days will see the remainder of the manuscripts, as well as the fine collection of copies of Bushman pictures made by the late Mr. G. W. Stow, also published is a question that only time can answer. In the spelling of the native text in the volume now completed, various irregularities will be observed. These have their source chiefly in two causes. One of these was the endeavour always to write down, as nearly as possible, the sounds heard at the time; the other, thatD r. Bleek sorthography was of a more scientific kind than that of the other collector, whose ear had been mainly accustomed toE nglish sounds. In a few instances, the new lines in the native text and translation do not correspond; as theB ushman andE nglish proofs had often to be sent over separately toG ermany for correction. The corresponding marginal numbers, by the side of the native texts and the translation (which refer to the pages in the original manuscripts), will, it is hoped, be of material assistance to those wishing to study theB ushman language from this volume.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating culture and lore of the Bushmen, a group of people once indigenous to a vast swathe of Southern Africa. Through meticulously collected oral narratives, songs, and stories, the author reveals the inner workings of Bushman society, their beliefs about the natural world, and their unique language, a complex system of clicks and guttural sounds. The author, a dedicated scholar, painstakingly documented these traditions, recognizing their importance in understanding a vanishing culture. This book provides an invaluable window into the history, beliefs, and language of a people whose story is increasingly threatened by the encroachment of modern civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
