Claude Lvi-Strauss (Libri)

Claude Lvi-Strauss Libri

Claude Lévi-Strauss fu un antropologo francese, celebre per aver sviluppato l'antropologia strutturale. Rifiutò la storia e l'umanesimo, così come l'idea di una presunta unicità della civiltà occidentale, affermando l'uguaglianza della 'mente selvaggia' con la 'mente civilizzata'. La sua opera pone l'accento sulla forma piuttosto che sul contenuto, scoprendo schemi nel pensiero e nella cultura che risuonano in diverse società. Lévi-Strauss fu profondamente immerso in capolavori letterari e nella musica classica e contemporanea, influenzando il suo approccio interdisciplinare all'antropologia.

Grave Mercy meets Red Queen in this epic debut fantasy, inspired by Renaissance France, about an outcast who finds herself bound to a disgraced lord and entangled in his plot to overthrow the current king. Brienna desires only two things: to master her passion and to be chosen by a patron. Growing up in Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her. While some are born with a talent for one of the five passions—art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge—Brienna struggled to find hers until she chose knowledge. However, Brienna’s greatest fear comes true—she is left without a patron. Months later, her life takes an unexpected turn when a disgraced lord offers her patronage. Suspicious of his intent, she reluctantly accepts. But there is much more to his story, for there is a dangerous plot to overthrow the king of Maevana—the rival kingdom of Valenia—and restore the rightful queen, and her magic, to the throne. And others are involved—some closer to Brienna than she realizes. And now, with war brewing, Brienna must choose which side she will remain loyal to: passion or blood.
