BENNUN, NEIL & BLEEK, WILHELM HEINRICH IMMANUEL & LLOYD, LUCY

The broken string. The last words of an extinct people

Neil Bennun, 2004. Hardcover. Pp: 420. The first people of South Africa, stone - age hunters and gatherers from the mountains and the arid flats of the interior, did not survive the arrival of settlers from Europe. Within decades an ancient world of sorcerers, hunters and artists was lost for ever, along with the stories they told. We would know next to nothing of their myths, their beliefs or the rituals that governed their lives if it were not for six people, five of whom were men taken to Cape Town and imprisoned between 1869 and 1870. Released into the rural home of a Prussian linguist called Wilhelm Bleek and his English - born sister - in - law, a former governess called Lucy Lloyd, they were invited to teach their language and to share a previously unknown world on the verge of extinction. Over the next eighteen years Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd worked together to record 12,000 pages of stories, songs, pictures and moving personal histories. ISBN: 9780670912506.

Pp. 72. With one genealogical table. Original printed wrappers, slightly dusty. Signature inscription on front wrapper. First published in 1853 as part of a larger linguistic work and in 1867 (in Cape Town) as a separate publication.This work caused some sensation as Bleek used Darwin's theory of the origin of species as a basis for this work.

He saw a close connection between zoology and linguistics. ADB xlvii, 16. Benfey S. 789.
