Synopsis
"Tristes Tropiques" records Lévi-Strauss's search for "a human society reduced to its most basic expression", and focuses on the tribes of the Caduvco, Bororo, Nambikwara, and Tupi-Kawahib of the Amazon basin and the upland jungles of Brazil. Lévi-Strauss draws fascinating comparisons and parallels among the tribes and human societies at large, allowing his work to easily transcend the specialized discipline of his field. The stories he tells of his travels and studies in this book are perhaps among his most autobiographical writings.

Industry Reviews
"A magical masterpiece of anthropology, of literature, of human thought,...one of the few great sensitive books of the 20th century."
Book Jacket - Robert Ardrey

"An intensely personal book. Like Montaigne's 'Essays' and Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams', it is an intellectual autobiography, an exemplary personal history in which a whole view of the human situation, an entire sensibility, is elaborated....It is a masterpiece."
other - Susan Sontag

"A classical journey of discovery, a quest for the past and for the realization of self....It is a work of anthropology, grandly speculative and imaginative...a work of science, history, and a rational prose poetry, springing out of the multifariousness of the landscape....Levi-Strauss is pursuing his professional studies, but he is also creating literature."
other - Elizabeth Hardwick
