Krátky popis
It was a black night in the year 1620 when Christenze Krukow made
the wax child, when she melted down beeswax and set it in the image
of a small human. For days, she carried it tucked beneath her arm,
shaping it with the warmth of her flesh, giving it life. She
fashioned for it eyes and ears that cannot open, and yet – it
watches and listens.It looks on as Christenze is haunted by rumour,
it hears what the people whisper. It sees how, in the candlelight,
she gazes with love at her friends, and hears the things they say
in the shadows. It knows pine forest, misty fjord and the crackle
of the burning pyre.It observes the violence in men’s eyes and the
cruelty of their laws. In time, it begins to understand that once a
suspicion of witchcraft has taken hold, it can prove impossible to
shake…Based on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial,
The Wax Child is the extraordinary new novel from Olga Ravn, one of
the most acclaimed and original writers at work today: a
mesmerising, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic
were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater.
