This book was a very easy and informative read, I feel like I gained a new perspective on what culture really means and how deeply rooted our societal morals are and how they shift over time. Especially the last two chapters blew me away. This is a great introduction into the wax sculptures, their use and place in culture and society at the time. Would definitely recommend to anyone who find the cover or topic even remotely interesting!
