Descripción Soft cover. Condición: New. B&W Photographs Ilustrador. 1st Edition. New unopened and unread paperback. 1st Faber & Faber edition, 1998. Translated by Paul Auster. B&W photographs. 24 cms. 8.40 x 5.30 x 0.90 inches. xi, 240pp, illustrations, portraits. Subject: ethnology Paraguay; Guayaki Indians; social life and customs; indigenous peoples Paraguay. The author describes the everyday life and habits, ritual and cosmology of the Guayaki tribe of Paraguay, while he stayed with them for a year in 1963. An unsentimental, yet sympathetic, depiction of the year anthropologist Pierre Clastres spent with a so-called 'savage' tribe of Indians in Paraguay in 1963. It describes the everyday life and habits, ritual and cosmology of these Indians. It makes compelling, sometimes shocking reading - when, for instance, the Indians' anger at the fate they have to suffer causes them to start murdering their own children. But Clastres's book - in Paul Auster's marvellous translation - brings this alien world close to our own. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.
