«Il sale della vita» is an essay by Françoise Héritier, published by Rizzoli in paperback (96 pages, in Italian).
A book about happiness that starts from small moments that remain in memory: holidays, books, friends, a meal by the sea, an old photograph or Chet Baker's trumpet. With images and associations, Héritier composes a reflection on the essence of life, between literary experiment and homage to the everyday.
The Italian 2012 edition is part of Rizzoli's «Saggi stranieri» collection.
Françoise Héritier was a French anthropologist, ethnologist, and feminist. She was the successor to Claude Lévi-Strauss to hold the chair of anthropology at the Collège de France, and held the inaugural chair of Comparative Study of African Societies from 1983. Her work dealt mainly with the theory of alliances and on the prohibition of incest, both theories based on the notion of exchange of women. In addition to Lévi-Strauss, she was also influenced by Alfred Radcliffe-Brown.
