Summary

• "This slim volume, published in the same series as Foucault's Language, Madness, and Desire. It brings together two lectures that Lévi-Strauss gave on the French essayist Montaigne: one given in 1937 and the second in 1992"--
• n January 1937, Levi-Strauss gave a lecture that discussed the French essayist Michel de Montaigne, to whom he would return in remarks delivered more than a half-century later, in the spring of 1992. [These two talks] reveal how Lévi-Strauss's reading of his intellectual forebear and his understanding of anthropology evolved along the way. Published here for the first time, these lectures offer new insight into the development of ethnography and the thinking of one of its most important practitioners. Essays by Emmanuel Désveaux, who edited the original French volume De Montaigne à Montaigne, and Peter Skafish expand the context of Lévi-Strauss's talks with contemporary perspectives and commentary.--
