Opis

'Tristes Tropiques' is an account of Claude Levi-Strauss' travels from wartime France to the Amazon basin and the upland jungles of Brazil, where he found 'human society reduced to its most basic expression'. His account of the people he came across changed the field of anthropology, transforming Western notions of 'primitive' man.
