This extraordinary book must be read."--Edmund Carpenter, New York Times Book Review "No outline is possible; I can only say that reading this book is a most exciting intellectual exercise in which dialectic, wit, and imagination combine to stimulate and provoke at every page."--Edmund Leach, Man "L???vi-Strauss's books are tough: very scholarly, very dense, very rapid in argument.

And his latest book, The Savage Mind , is his most comprehensive and certainly his most profound. Everyone interested in the history of ideas must read it; everyone interested in human institutions should read it."--J. H. Plumb, Saturday Review "A constantly stimulating, informative and suggestive intellectual challenge."--Geoffrey Gorer, The Observer , London
