Rousseau's account of the life of Eugène Marais begins in the early days of Pretoria (1871) and ends three years after Hitler's rise to power. Between these two dates are sandwiched many of the great events of Afrikaner and South African history: the British occupation of Pretoria, the beginning of the Afrikaans language movement, the Jameson raid, 'the naughty nineties' (when Marais was in London), the Boer War and its aftermath, World War I, and the rise of Afrikaner nationalism. Against this changing canvas, Rousseau introduces the reader to Marais in all his complexity, he explores Marais's talents as a naturalist, hypnotist, doctor and psychologist. He gives us an insight into Marais as an advocate, citizen of the world, magician and author and also takes us into his life as the widower, the lover and the tragic morphine addict.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40128675545238,"sku":"The Dark Stream: The Story Of Eugène N Marais","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210622_172638.jpg?v=1624379599"},{"product_id":"my-friends-the-baboons-by-eugene-marais","title":"My Friends the Baboons by Eugene Marais","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy Friends the Baboons by Eugene Marais\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Human \u0026amp; Rousseau (Pty) Ltd, 1971 First Edition in this form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed - Very Good.

He later described this as the happiest, most content time of his troubled life. This period produced two works which are testament to his research and conclusions; they have very different histories. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirstly, there was a series of articles written in Afrikaans for the newspaper Die Vaderland. They were then published in book form under the title Burgers van die Berge and were first published in an English translation in 1939 under the title My Friends the Baboons. These pieces were written in a popular vein suitable to a newspaper readership, and were not regarded very seriously by Marais himself. They are a journal; a series of anecdotes and impressions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Soul of the Ape, which Marais wrote in wonderfully clear and precise English, was the more serious scientific document; however, after his death in 1936, it could not be found. It was lost for 32 years, and was recovered in 1968, and published the following year. The excellent introduction by Robert Ardrey that is included in this volume was part of the 1969 and subsequent editions of The Soul of the Ape, and adds greatly to an appreciation of its importance. Together, these three texts give us as complete a picture as we will ever get of Marais' three year study of these complex relatives of humanity, and its implications for the study of consciousness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEugene Marais is also the author of The Soul of the White Ant, his exploration of the psyche and social life of the termite. It was always his intention that the two bodies of work, on termites and apes, were companion pieces in the search for an understanding of the psyche that would span the gulf between the insect and primate worlds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe point of Marais' work was, always, the mystery of consciousness itself, on which grounds it is as relevant as ever. \"He offers a vision of nature as a whole, whose parts obey different time-laws, move in affinities and linkages we could learn to see: parts making wholes on their own level, but seen by our divisive brains as a multitude of individualities, a flock of birds, a species of plant or beast. We are just at the start of an understanding of the heavens as a web of interlocking clocks, all differently set: an understanding that is not intellectual, but woven into experience. Marais brings this thought down into the plain, the hedgerow, the garden.\" - Doris Lessing in The New Statesman.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Human \u0026 Rousseau (Pty) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41229504938134,"sku":"My Friends the Baboons by Eugene Marais","price":220.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20211211_143730.jpg?v=1639761933"},{"product_id":"donker-stroom-eugene-marais-en-die-anglo-boereoorlog-by-carel-van-der-merwe","title":"Donker Stroom.

It is now published for the first time, 33 years after his death. When Marais died in 1936 he was well known for his pioneering work in the field of animal behaviour. His study of the habits of chacma baboons in Northern Transvaal’s Waterberg led him to the conclusion that man’s subconscious mentality is in fact the primitive, instinctive mind, or psyche, which in the evolutionary process has been crowded out by the development of a reasoning intellect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the theme of The Soul of the Ape. Published simultaneously in South Africa, Britain and the United States, the book is bound to have a tremendous impact. Introducing this edition with a moving essay on Marais’ life and work, Robert Ardrey [author of African Genesis and The Territorial Imperative] states that this book, “written so long ago, presents better than any other book published thus far, the dawning humanity in the psyche of the higher primate.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is indeed the masterpiece of Eugene Marais, of whom Ardrey wrote in African Genesis that he was the first “to penetrate the secrets of the wonderful world of the animal and to apprehend the legitimate mysteries of the wonderful world of man.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephan Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44263023182127,"sku":"The Soul of the Ape by Eugene Marais","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20230104_171157.jpg?v=1672849401"},{"product_id":"margriet-van-laastelust-en-die-wegraak-van-sannie-eugene-n-marais","title":"Margriet van Laastelust en Die Wegraak van Sannie deur Eugene N Marais","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery scarce title\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagriet van Laastelust en Die Wegraak van Sannie deur Eugene N Marais\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALMAL SE BOEKE No 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagriet van Laastelust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1931 derde druk in kleurvolle linneband. 108 bladsye.

Leon Rousseau sê in sy baanbreker-lewensverhaal oor Marais, Die Groot Verlange (1974): “Tensy ontdekkings gemaak word wat ’n mens jou op die oomblik kwalik kan voorstel, sal dit altyd onmoontlik bly om ’n samehangende relaas van Marais se vyf jaar in Europa te gee.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHierdie ontdekkings en nog baie meer is nou gemaak. In Donker Stroom word onthul presies waarmee Marais hom kort voor, tydens en ná die bitter stryd tussen Boer en Brit besig gehou het, ’n verstommende verhaal wat ’n mens jou skaars kan indink. Was Marais die onkreukbare patriot en joernalis wat sy biograwe van hom gemaak het, of is hierdie Afrikaner-ikoon ook deur die donker stroom van die tydsgees meegesleur?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaapstad, Tafelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58467731439919,"sku":"Donker Stroom.
