About This Item
(Cape Town: John Malherbe, 1974) 0869660853. 8vo; original orange boards, lettered in white on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 170; line drawings; maps. Ex-library copy, with code sticker to tail of spine panel, and codes, hand-stamps and label/pocket scars elsewhere; edges rubbed; tape remnants to reverse of dustwrapper. Fair condition. Afrikaans text. "In 1940 het vier seuns en 'n hond eendag in 'n woud in die suidweste van Frankryk rondgeloop. Skielik het die hond in die niet verdwyn - asof die aarde hom ingesluk het.
Die seuns se vonds [die beroemde Lascaux-grot], wat hulle gesien het en wat aan hulle vertel is van die betekenis van hul ontdekking en van die lewe van die ystydmens, word met groot oorspronklikheid, ontsag en verbeelding deur die skrywer vertel. Dié verhaal word spannender as die beste storie. En saam met die seuns betree die leser 'n byna ongelooflike wêreld onder die aarde, om, soos die seuns, nooit weer dieselfde te kan wees wanneer hy weer na die sonlig uitgeklim het nie." .
