the original cover, the english edition's one and the picture of the writer
The Raw and the Cooked is one of the seminal works of structuralist anthropology, and probably the best known of all of Lévi-Strauss' works. It begins by looking at one Bororo myth and ends up examining a whole collection of myths from tropical South America. It is not the analysis of the myths themselves that is important, however, but rather the methodology of the analysis, where Lévi-Strauss sets out the basic principles of a structural approach to mythology. |
