Pour vivre aussi, car l'estomac im conditions. De plus ce bateleur misanthrope, soit compliquer, soit pour se compléter, était médecin. C'est peu, Ursus était ventriloque. Ou le voyait pa que sa bouche remuât. 1100piait, à s'y méprendre, et la prononciation du premier venu; il imitait le croire entendre les personnes. A lui tout seul, il 1 murmure d'une foule, ce qui lui donnait droit d'engastm'mythe. Il le prenait.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the intriguing history of the Comprachicos, a little-known but widespread and horrifying institution of the 17th century, whose members engaged in the sinister trade of buying and selling children. The author traces the roots of this phenomenon, exploring the social and economic factors that fostered its growth, and delves into the macabre techniques employed by these individuals to physically deform children into grotesque spectacles for public entertainment. This practice, known as the "art of monsters," is explored as a reflection of the darker aspects of human nature and the extent to which people would go for their amusement. Ultimately, this book unveils the forgotten story of the Comprachicos, their motivations, and the lasting impact their actions had on the lives of countless children during that era.
