The French do go on, don't they?

Whenever I see reviews that say things like “No precis is possible. This extraordinary book must be read” and “No outline is possible; I can only say that reading this book is a most stimulating intellectual exercise,” I suspect that the Emperor’s New Clothes Syndrome is raging. And I think there’s some of that going on here. I think the big thing that fools people is that the French can go on and on forever without saying much of anything. Maybe they take joy in their language and it loses something in translation. I remember as a young actor playing the title role in Camus’ CALIGULA. How much there was to memorize! Some of those speeches went on for pages. Then in my 30s I read Proust. He could make single sentences that went on for more than a page! This book was not easy reading. It took me four days to plow through the first 36 pages, primarily because it was a lot of abstract concepts being explained by other abstract concepts. Add to that the French penchant for subordinate clauses within subordinate clauses. I had to get out a pencil and circle the subjects and underline the main verbs in order to make sense of it! Throw in a horribly pedantic translation, which invariably uses an obscure English word over a more familiar one every time. Then top that off with a poor editing job that leaves out the close parenthesis on one occasion and on a couple of others presents the reader with an unintelligible sentence fragment. It was not an easy book to read. But I do feel that the information it contained was valuable and will help me with the project I’m researching.
Basically the author says that the “primitive” mind is not so “primitive” after all; there is a lively intellect at work, which has a system of classification not all that different from that of the modern biologist or physicist. That intellect, however, is inaccessible to us most of the time because we conceive reality differently. The modern mind perceives existence within the context of history. The “primitive” mind does not recognize “history,” but a never-ending always-was-always-is existence. We must understand this point of view if we are to make sense of “primitive” culture. That’s an oversimplification, but I think that sums it up.
I’ll give the ideas involved here five stars. I’ll give Levi-Strauss’s ability to communicate those ideas four stars. The translator and the editor get two stars each. That gives us three and a quarter stars, which seems to me about right.

I had to read this for an undergraduate class in comparative literature (thankfully not the entire book). I feel it is very much a product of its time, especially French structuralism. The first chapter provides some meaningful insight into what exactly Lévi-Strauss means by Pensée sauvage. The rest is pure theoretical drivel with anthropology scattered throughout. Wouldn’t recommend unless you really have to, be it for a class or research.

Structures with many digressions

Encyclopedic coverage of pre-literate knowledge systems but ethnographically a bit rambling and thus disjointed or, least, far-fetched. Also, the British translation seems at times verbose.

This is heavy going for Levi-Strauss

Unlike some of Lev-Strauss' other book (Myth and Meaning, Tristes Tropiques), this one is heavy going. LS sets forth his theories in abstract almost mathematical terms. It's a hard slog but well worth it. You get a real sense of his very deep thinking and understand why he is one of the giants of anthropology.

Even if you're not a humanities major this will not so long a read will certainly not disappoint.

Allow this classical Anthropologist to re-engineer the way you conceive the world. Even if you're not a humanities major this will not so long a read will certainly not disappoint.
