A review by silent_jem
Des monstres et prodiges by Ambroise Paré

4.0

A really interesting insight to Renaissance period's beliefs about natural deformities, gender, sex, etc. Read as part of a module about sex, gender, and identity, so the second half of the book (about demonic possession and other monsters) wasn't too relevant but still quite interesting! I found the description of the spirits in the mines particularly eerie. Would recommend, it's a fairly easy read (even in French).
