Car ce livre s'écarte de l'ethnologie traditionnelle en prenant pour thème un attribut universel de l'esprit humain : la pensée à l'état sauvage qui est présente dans tout homme – contemporain ou ancien, proche ou lointain – tant qu'elle n'a pas été cultivée et domestiquée à des fins de rendement.
Lévi-Strauss aborde donc les mythes, les rites, les croyances et les autres faits de culture comme autant d'êtres " sauvages " comparables à tous ceux que la nature engendre sous d'innombrables formes, animales, végétales et minérales.
Publiée au milieu des années cinquante, La Pensée sauvage est aujourd'hui considérée comme l'un des classiques de l'ethnologie contemporaine dont l'influence fut décisive sur l'ensemble des disciplines qui forment le domaine des sciences sociales.

But while a long, slow kiss sealed the bargain that solved both their dilemmas, neither imagined the extraordinary journey that would begin on that unforgettable night. . . .
