"A milestone in the study of culture": First Edition of Triste Tropiques; Inscribed by Claude-Levi Strauss
First edition of Levi-Strauss' landmark work. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by Claude Levi-Strauss on the half title page. Very good in a very good dust jacket.
Tristes Tropiques is a memoir, first published in France in 1955. It documents his travels and anthropological work, focusing principally on Brazil, though it refers to many other places, such as the Caribbean and India. Although ostensibly a travelogue, the work is infused with philosophical reflections and ideas linking many academic disciplines, such as sociology, geology, music, history and literature. "One of the great works of the twentieth century" (Susan Sontag).
