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. Codice articolo ABE-1695917139153
