Claude Lévi-Strauss is one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century, a leading exponent of structuralism and a great social anthropologist. Yet he is a very private and isolated figure who has been reticent about himself, and this revealing book provides a fascinating insight into Lévi-Strauss's character through a careful reading of the more speculative passages of his books and interviews. It is a very readable introduction to Lévi-Strauss and his work, which places the world-view of this great French writer in the context of twentieth-century intellectuals' struggles to come to grips with cultural relativism and the problem of the primitive.
