Myths from North and South America are set side by side to show their transformations: in passing from person to person and place to place, a myth can change its content and yet retain its structural principles. . . . Apart from the complicated transformations discovered and the fascinating constructions placed on these, the stories themselves provide a feast.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Lévi-Strauss uses the structural method he developed to analyze and 'decode' the mythology of native North Americans, focusing on the area west of the Rockies. . . . [The author] takes the opportunity to refute arguments against his method; his chapter 'Finale' is a defense of structural analysis as well as the closing statement of this four-volume opus which started with an 'Ouverture' in The Raw and the Cooked.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526200725739,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7492\/8875\/files\/2026-09-2509.05.49.jpg?v=1790288108","url":"https:\/\/www.atlantisbooks.co.nz\/products\/the-naked-man-introduction-to-a-science-of-mythology-vol-4-by-claude-levi-strauss","provider":"Atlantis Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
