The history of ethnographic literature is replete with outstanding works, which are unique cultural portraits of various communities and peoples. There are many works in this genre that have become classics of ethnographic literature and continue to inspire new researchers.

One of the most famous ethnographic works is the Argonauts of the Western Pacific by Bronislaw Malinovsky, which is a detailed study of the rites and exchange system among the Trovenga people in New Guinea. This work is considered one of the fundamental in modern ethnography.

Another important work is Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene, which, although not strictly ethnographic, contributes significantly to our understanding of cultural evolution and social behavior. This work has become a classic in the field of modern biology and anthropology.

It is also worth mentioning the works of Margaret Mead (Sex and Death in the Mental Life of the Andes), Evanda Balard (City and Jungle), Karl Gustav Jung (Mandals in Psychotherapy) and many others who have made significant contributions to the study of cultural communities and expanding our understanding of the world.
