This book represents months of work of planning and in the field, but above all it is a tribute to the eternal beauty of Africa; the photographs and text 'steal' from the peoples of the Omo a fragment of their mystery and truth. But with delicacy and respect. By examining a small region in the heart of the continent, the books attempts to trace the roots of remotest Africa; the cradle of man, where ancestral bonds with nature still exist. It is a place where the link with the dark side of existence is not hidden, as happens in the West, but exhibited. By means of his camera and his pen, in this book the author has encapsulated long years of study of the most interesting peoples and ethnic groups in Africa. Centered around a series of extra [More..] | |

This travelogue was published in 1921. From the Foreword:This volume is one which does not fall within any well defined literary category. Such a production is liable to be criticised less for what it is than for what different readers may think it purports to be or should have been. In the circumstances it may be useful at the outset to explain the aim and scope of the volume. It deals with travel in the Union of South Africa, without, however, any pretence of conveying the last word on such travel ; indeed the volume is confined to what was seen and felt by only one party of travellers, and they did not see everything. There has been no attempt to describe the Union in detail. Not much, for instance, has been set down about the remarkable [More..] | |
