'I have sought a human society reduced its most basic expression.' This documentation of that quest follows Levi-Strauss among the Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and Tupi-Kawahib peoples of Brazil, searching for a universal cultural kinship among all peoples. First published in France in 1955, Tristes Tropiques made the anthropologist one of the most famous intellectuals in France; Russell's translation did the same for the English-speaking world.
