Havelock Ellis

The Sexual Life of Savages in North Western Melanesia is a book written by Bronislaw Malinowski, a Polish anthropologist, in which he describes the sexual practices and customs of the Trobriand Islanders, a tribe living in the western Pacific Ocean. The book is based on Malinowski's fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands between 1915 and 1918, and it provides an in-depth analysis of the sexual behavior of the Trobriand Islanders, including their attitudes towards sex, their sexual practices, and their social organization based on sexual relationships. Malinowski argues that the Trobriand Islanders have a complex and sophisticated system of sexual customs and beliefs that are integral to their social and cultural life. The book is considered a classic in the field of anthropology and has been influential in shaping modern understandings of sexuality and culture. This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.
