<i>Tristes Tropiques</i> begins with the line ‘<i>I hate travelling and explorers</i>’, yet during his life Claude Lévi-Strauss travelled from wartime France to the Amazon basin and the dense upland jungles of Brazil, where he found ‘<i>human society reduced to its most basic expression</i>’. His account of the people he encountered changed the field of anthropology, transforming Western notions of ‘primitive’ man. <i>Tristes Tropiques</i> is a major work of art as well as of scholarship. It is a memoir of exquisite beauty and a masterpiece of travel writing: funny, discursive, movingly detailing personal and cultural loss, and brilliantly connecting disparate fields of thought. Few books have had as powerful and broad an impact.
