El Anatomista : Novela Paperback - 1998
by Andahazi, Federico
- Used
Based on historical fact, "The Anatomist" is an utterly fascinating excursion into Renaissance Italy, as evocative of time and place as the work of Umberto Eco. Above all, it is an audacious novel, exposing not only the social hypocrisies of the day, but also the prejudices and sexual taboos that may still be with us four hundred years later. Brilliantly translated from the Spanish, "The Anatomist" introduces American readers to a new writer of consummate wit and subversive flair.
