[Inhoud]
 VOORWOORD.

Wanneer wij onder West-Indië niet alleen de eilandenreeks verstaan,

die, tusschen den 10en en 28en graad N.B. gelegen, zich in een boog
van de Zuidspits van Florida tot de Noordkust van Zuid-Amerika
uitstrekt, en de noordelijke omranding van de Caraïbische Zee vormt,
doch ook het gedeelte van het vasteland van Zuid-Amerika, dat onder
den naam Guyana bekend is en dat ten N. door den Atlantischen
Oceaan en den Orinoco, ten O. door den Atlantischen Oceaan, ten Z.
door de Amazonen-rivier en de Rio Negro en ten W. door de Orinoco
en de Cassiquiare begrensd wordt, mag de titel van dezen bundel der
Mythen- en Legenden-serie gerechtvaardigd zijn, daar het overgroote
deel der hierin opgenomen mondelinge overleveringen niet op de
West-Indische eilanden, doch in Guyana is bijeengebracht.

Dat ik uit den rijken schat van Mythen, Sagen, Legenden enz. die nog
bij de zoo sympathieke, helaas! voortdurend afnemende
oorspronkelijke bevolking van Guyana, de Indianen—op de eilanden
bijna geheel verdwenen—een belangrijk deel van het materiaal voor
dezen bundel heb gekozen, en dat ik deze verzameling in de tweede
plaats aan den onuitputtelijken rijkdom, die de mondelinge litteratuur
van het nu in West-Indië zoozeer overheerschende element, de
Negerbevolking, aan den folklore-onderzoeker verschaft, ontleend
heb—lag voor de hand.

In dezen bundel, waarin de voortbrengselen van den geest van twee

der meest uit elkander loopende volken der aarde met elkander
vergeleken kunnen worden, kan het den lezer zeker niet duidelijker
worden gemaakt, dat Mythen, Sagen en Legenden, die als overoude
herinneringen uit lang vervlogen tijden zijn blijven voortleven, een
getrouwe afspiegeling zijn van het leven en denken van een volk, en
dat, hoe groot, ook in geestelijk opzicht, de volken onderling mogen
verschillen, telkens een eenheid, ook in denken, naar voren treedt,
die onmiskenbaar op een gemeenschappelijken oorsprong heenwijst.

Hoewel in dezen bundel niet alleen vertellingen voorkomen, die hetzij

Mythen, hetzij Sagen of Legenden moeten genoemd worden, doch
ook dierenfabels rijkelijk vertegenwoordigd zijn, [VIII]is de titel, die het
eerst voor dezen bundel in de gedachte kwam, behouden.

Over de bezwaren, welke er voor een kunstenaar, die in het land van
herkomst geen studies maakte, aan verbonden zijn, om, in
overeenstemming met de andere bundels van Thieme’s mythen- en
legenden-serie, treffende plaatsen uit den tekst te illustreeren, ben ik,
den lezerskring in aanmerking genomen, voor welken deze bundel in
de eerste plaats bestemd is, ten slotte heengestapt. Dankbaar mag ik
erkennen, dat de veelbelovende kunstenaar Willem Backer, voor
wien niets te veel was, om in de gedachtenwereld en het zieleleven
van twee hem geheel vreemde menschenrassen door te dringen, met
zijn rijke phantasie en zijn illustratief-decoratief talent belangrijk tot de
poging heeft bijgedragen, om door middel van hunne geestelijke
voortbrengselen het leven van twee zoo belangwekkende
vertegenwoordigers van het menschdom uit te beelden. Het in beeld
brengen van de voorstelling der Indianen en der Negers, die, evenals
andere natuurvolken, in hunne vertellingen de dieren als menschen
laten optreden en willekeurig in elkander laten overgaan, heeft nog
geen ander illustrator aangedurfd. Onze zoölogen zullen dus aan een
spin met twintig, in plaats van met acht pooten, geen aanstoot mogen
nemen.

Ten gerieve van hen, die dieper in het aantrekkelijke onderwerp

wenschen door te dringen, heb ik een, uit den aard der zaak,
onvolledig litteratuur-overzicht laten voorafgaan, waarnaar de
Nederlandsche lezer door de in den tekst tusschen haakjes
geplaatste letters verwezen wordt.
Een woord van bijzonderen dank ben ik hier verschuldigd aan mijn
vriend, den Heer C. van Drimmelen, en niet minder aan diens
echtgenoote, Mevrouw B. E. C. van Drimmelen, geb. Wolff, die
steeds bereid waren, op mijne vragen betreffende gewoonten en de
taal der Surinaamsche Negers te antwoorden, terwijl hier ook een
woord van dank op zijn plaats is aan de Uitgeefster, de Firma W. J.
Thieme & Cie, voor hare medewerking, om dit deel harer Mythen- en
Legenden-serie boven het volume harer reeds verschenen bundels te
laten uitdijen.

Moge deze verzameling er toe bijdragen, de Indianen en de Negers

in een ander licht te doen schijnen, dan waarin de oningewijde van
het blanke ras hen, met andere gekleurde [IX]rassen, gewoon is te
beschouwen en tevens bij den lezer de overtuiging te vestigen, dat
de eertijds onderstelde psychische kloof tusschen Blanken en de
gekleurde rassen niet bestaat, en dat zoowel het Indiaansche als het
Negerras, bij verstandige en goede leiding, voor hoogere
ontwikkeling alleszins vatbaar zijn en beiden hunne plaatsen zullen
kunnen innemen op den naar hooger strevenden weg, dien het
menschdom met zijn vele stamverwante elementen heeft ingeslagen.
