Overview
Historia y desventuras de una pequeña criada llamada Little, que más tarde se convirtió en la famosa Madame Tussaud.
Una novela histórica, mágica y tremendamente adictiva que sigue la vida de Little, que pasó de ser una pequeña sirvienta a la mayor artista de la cera de todos los tiempos, pasando por amiga de la realeza y pieza clave en la Revolución Francesa
"¡No te pierdas este libro excentrico pero encantador! Narrado por la mismisima Madame Tussaud, maestra de la cera, recorre su vida a traves de varias epocas, incluida la Revolucion Francesa, tiempo de esplendor para las cabezas." MARGARET ATWOOD
"Entre Dickens y David Lynch, pasando por Defoe y Tim Burton.” THE NEW YORK TIMES
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"An amazing achievement. . . A compulsively readable novel, so canny and weird and surfeited with the reality of human capacity and ingenuity that I am stymied for comparison. Dickens and David Lynch? Defoe meets Margaret Atwood? Judge for yourself." —Gregory Maguire, New York Times-bestselling author of Wicked
The wry, macabre, unforgettable tale of an ambitious orphan in Revolutionary Paris, befriended by royalty and radicals, who transforms herself into the legendary Madame Tussaud.
In 1761, a tiny, odd-looking girl named Marie is born in a village in Switzerland. After the death of her parents, she is apprenticed to an eccentric wax sculptor and whisked off to the seamy streets of Paris, where they meet a domineering widow and her quiet, pale son. Together, they convert an abandoned monkey house into an exhibition hall for wax heads, and the spectacle becomes a sensation. As word of her artistic talent spreads, Marie is called to Versailles, where she tutors a princess and saves Marie Antoinette in childbirth. But outside the palace walls, Paris is roiling: The revolutionary mob is demanding heads, and . . . at the wax museum, heads are what they do.
In the tradition of Gregory Maguire's Wicked and Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, Edward Carey's Little is a darkly endearing cavalcade of a novel—a story of art, class, determination, and how we hold on to what we love.
