Edward Carey - Kicsi - Madame Tussaud életének rémisztő és csodálatos regénye

A dark, charming and unforgettable story about a talented and determined orphan during the French Revolution who wrote herself into history as Madame Tussaud.
Little, ugly Marie was born in 1761 in a small Swiss village. After the death of his parents, as an assistant to a wax sculptor, he found himself in the seething Paris, and soon in the Palace of Versailles, where he became a sculpture teacher of a princess, he almost shared a cake with the king and saved Marie Antoinette on the birth bed. But a revolution broke out outside the walls of the palace, and Parisians thirsty for revenge demanded heads...

Kcsi is inspired by reality, a strange adult tale about art, fate, the darkest recesses of the human body and soul, dedication, love - it's like a four-hander of Charles Dickens and David Lynch.
