"Levi-Strauss, Claude"

Summary: 'Claude Levi-Strauss' revolutionary studies of what was once called 'primitive man' transformed Western understanding of the nature of culture, custom and civilization. His legacy is imposing. Mythologiques, his four-volume work about the structure of native mythology in the Americas, attempts nothing less than an interpretation of the world of culture and custom, shaped by analysis of several hundred myths oflittle-known tribes and traditions. The volumes, the Raw and the Cooked, From Honey to Ashes, the Origin of Table Manners and the Naked Man, published from 1964 to 1971, challenge the reader with their complex interweaving of theme and detail.'
