Octavio Paz provides a sound introduction to Levi-Strauss's major works, including "The Raw and the Cooked" and his ground-breaking studies of myth and of the incest taboo. In confronting Levi-Strauss's work, Paz develops the ideas he set forth earlier in "The Labyrinth of Solitude", a collection of essays on modern Mexican culture that emphasizes the importance of language and dialogue. Paz's experiences with Oriental societies enables him to offer an unusual perspective on Levi-Strauss's work in the Americas. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 212597
