Sir Laurens Van Der Post, Part III: Dialogues With Sir Laurens Van Der Post: A Mythic Journey, Part III

From his home in London, this is the third in a rare and fascinating series of talks with one of the giants of the 20th century, the late, Sir Laurens Van der Post, whose life is an inspiration. Adventurer, soldier, statesman, writer and philosopher, Van der Post addresses the major issues of our time--and the results are riveting. In this dialogue, topics addressed by Sir Laurens include: his views on China, Asia and "the East"; the loss of meaning and where our culture has gone wrong; the collective and the individual dream; the emergence of new meaning and hope for the future; the alchemical aspects of suffering; how he handles mountains of correspondence; and his thought-provoking outlook on living and dying. This third section includes an interview with Jane Bedford, longtime assistant and collaborator of Sir Laurens.

Adventurer, soldier, statesman, writer and philosopher, and the author of many books, his latest is Feather Fall: The Essence of a Lifetime's Writing from One of Our Century's Most Respected Figures (Wm. Morrow 1994).
