Primitive Passions: Men, Women, and the Quest for Ecstasy 2nd edition

Linking literature, art, psychology and cultural studies, this work investigates Westerners' attraction to "primitive" cultures. Torgovnick explores the stories of Jung, Dinesen, O'Keefe and Lawrence and the ways they use the primitive as a medium for soul searching and personal fulfilment.
