«Les lances du crépuscule» is Philippe Descola's ethnography of the Achuar, published by Plon in paperback, 505 pages.
Ethnography of the Achuar, a Jivaroan people of the Upper Amazon between Ecuador and Peru. Descola lived with them for nearly three years and describes their daily life, warfare, dreams, magical songs, and relationship with nature. The work departs from the conventional academic monograph and presents the Achuar worldview in dialogue with the ethnographer.
Written in French, it belongs to Plon's Terre Humaine collection; the original edition dates from 1993.
A work of interest to readers of anthropology, ethnography, and Amazonian indigenous peoples, as well as those seeking travel chronicles with an academic basis.
