En 'Tristes trópicos', Claude Lévi-Strauss, reconocido etnólogo, filósofo y moralista, nos invita a un viaje tanto geográfico como intelectual. A través de sus recuerdos y experiencias en Asia y América, el autor explora las motivaciones detrás del trabajo de un etnólogo, integrando las vivencias del explorador con las investigaciones del científico. Este libro autobiográfico examina la relación entre el viejo y el nuevo mundo, el lugar del hombre en la naturaleza y el significado de la civilización y el progreso, todo ello desde una perspectiva que no renuncia a los detalles pintorescos pero que los sitúa en un contexto más amplio.
