A volume from Mythologiques I-IV written by French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss. The original French title was Le Cru et le cuit.

  • Mythologiques I-IV (trans. John Weightman and Doreen Weightman
    • Le Cru et le cuit, 1964, The Raw and the Cooked, 1969
    • Du meil aux cendres, 1966, From Honey to Ashes, 1973
    • L'Origine des manières de table, 1968, The Origin of Table Manners, 1978
    • L'Homme nu, 1971, The Naked Man, 1981)

The English translation of Le cru et le cuit by Claude Lévi-Strauss, is not incorrect, but it is perhaps incomplete. "Cuit" in French does not necessarily mean "cooked", but is also used to denote "done" , which is not necessarily obtained by cooking. Strawberries, for instance, may be "cuit" (done) because they were standing in sugar.
