Bøger af Claude (College de France) Levi-Strauss

In this wide-ranging work, Claude Levi-Strauss examines the mythology of American Indians and seeks to illustrate how contact with Europeans have altered these tales.

In this volume Levi-Strauss explores the mythologies of the Americas, with occasional incursions into European and Japanese folklore, tales of sloths and squirrels are interwoven with discussions of Freud, Saussure, "signification," and plays by Sophocles and Labiche.
