Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of body and societal norms, the narrative spans from the 4th century Roman amphitheater to 1970s New York's S&M scene, highlighting the lives of courageous individuals—saints, philosophers, and artists—who confront societal taboos. Interwoven with Fernanda Eberstadt's personal journey and her mother's experiences as a 1960s writer, the book delves into themes of beauty, belief, and the lessons imparted by the human body, offering a profound reflection on the power of vulnerability and resilience.
