Tristes Tropiques

During his life Claude Levi-Strauss travelled from wartime France to the Amazon basin and the dense upland jungles of Brazil, where he found 'human society reduced to its most basic expression'. This book details personal and cultural loss, connecting disparate fields of thought.

In timpul vietii sale, Claude Levi-Strauss a calatorit din Franta in timpul razboiului pana in bazinul Amazonului si junglele dense de munte din Brazilia, unde a gasit ,,societatea umana redusa la expresia sa cea mai elementara". Aceasta carte detaliaza pierderile personale si culturale, conectand domenii disparate de gandire.
