"The Naked Man is the fourth and final volume [of Mythologiques], written by the most influential and probably the most controversial anthropologist of our time. . . . Myths from North and South America are set side by side to show their transformations: in passing from person to person and place to place, a myth can change its content and yet retain its structural principles. . . . Apart from the complicated transformations discovered and the fascinating constructions placed on these, the stories themselves provide a feast."â€”Betty Abel, Contemporary Review "LÃ©vi-Strauss uses the structural method he developed to analyze and 'decode' the mythology of native North Americans, focusing on the area west of the Rockies. . . . [The author] takes the opportunity to refute arguments against his method; his chapter 'Finale' is a defense of structural analysis as well as the closing statement of this four-volume opus which started with an 'Ouverture' in The Raw and the Cooked."â€”Library Journal "The culmination of one of the major intellectual feats of our time."â€”Paul Stuewe, Quill and Quire

"Every word, like a sacred object, has its place. No précis is possible. This extraordinary book must be read."—Edmund Carpenter, New York Times Book Review "No outline is possible; I can only say that reading this book is a most exciting intellectual exercise in which dialectic, wit, and imagination combine to stimulate and provoke at every page."—Edmund Leach, Man "Lévi-Strauss's books are tough: very scholarly, very dense, very rapid in argument. But once you have mastered him, human history can never be the same, nor indeed can one's view of contemporary society. And his latest book, The Savage Mind, is his most comprehensive and certainly his most profound. Everyone interested in the history of ideas must read it; everyone interested in human institutions should read it."—J. H. Plumb, Saturday Review "A constantly stimulating, informative and suggestive intellectual challenge."—Geoffrey Gorer, The Observer, London

Excerpt from Anthropologie Structurale: Avec 23 Illustrations dans le Texte Et 13 Illustrations Hors-TextePlus d'un demi - 51ecle s'est écoulé depuis que Hauser et Simiand exposèrent et opposèrent les points de principe et le méthode qui, selon eux, distinguaient l'une de l'autre l'histoire et la sociologie. On se souvient que ces différences tenaient essentiellement au caractère comparatif de la mé thode sociologique, monographique et fonctionnel de la méthode historique D'accord sur cette opposition, les deux auteurs se séparaient seulement sur la valeur respective de chaque méthode.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
