Brossura. Condición: new. Traduzione di Francis F. Milano, 2019; br., pp. 287, ill. (La Collana dei Casi). Questo libro è «una sorta di improvvisato, piccolo ponte di corda sull'abisso profondo che separa il primo abitante dell'Africa dall'uomo moderno». La storia di un viaggio in un grande deserto ostile, quello del Kalahari - «Terra della Grande Sete» -, alla ricerca degli ultimi esemplari dell'unico e quasi estinto primo popolo dell'Africa australe, i Boscimani: antichissima stirpe di piccoli cacciatori nomadi, sterminata in maniera equanime da invasori neri e bianchi nel corso degli ultimi mille anni. Attraverso le loro storie, i loro miti, i loro sogni e l'appassionata descrizione del giornaliero rapporto con il deserto - la perenne, sfibrante ricerca dell'acqua, la caccia all'antilope, il legame indissolubile con gli animali e le stelle, anch'esse «grandi cacciatrici» -, Van der Post è riuscito nell'impresa di farci entrare, almeno di sfuggita, nella mente di questi esseri remoti, ancora oggi testimonianza vivente di uno stato dell'umanità dietro il quale sarebbe difficile intravedere qualcosa di precedente. Quasi che la parola «boscimano» , più che indicare l'appartenenza a un popolo o a un luogo, rappresentasse una modalità della mente a noi per sempre preclusa: quella in cui non sembra essere mai intervenuta una reale distinzione tra l'individuo che agisce e il mondo circostante, e dove chi agisce tutto sa, percepisce e sente sulla propria pelle, prima ancora che questo avvenga.
