Pradedant apipavidalinimu ir forma: labai gražus ir skoningas viršelis, įdomus šriftas ir, svarbiausia, žiauriai gražios, šiurpios iliustracijos; baigiant turiniu ir stiliumi. Consider using colored paper or paper with a heavier weight or decorating the cover with stamps, stickers, or other personal touches. When reading the beginning of this book, I found the early years of Marie’s life portrayed in it to be incredible, especially the way in which her parents died, leaving her an orphan at the age of six and at the mercy of her mother’s employer. Place the second piece of tape, also folded lengthwise sticky sides out, along the crease between the inside front cover and the outside of the first inner page. Her life’s journey takes her through the violent French Revolution and her path crosses many famous (good and bad) participants of that event.

I should note that this author was on my radar screen 20 years ago when he wrote his first work of adult fiction, Observatory Mansions. A historical fiction novel about Madame Tussaud, otherwise known as Anne Marie Grosholtz, and how she became a legendary wax maker. If you want to affix a cover to the book sections you have taped together, begin by placing the folded cover of the book over the taped book section pages. Part of the joy of reading it is encountering Carey’s slightly grotesque black-and-white illustrations, dozens of which appear through the text.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. Her adventures take her to Versailles and back, where she casts in wax some of the most famous people of her era.

Ir jei kada milijoninė Madame Tussaud vaško skulptūrų industrija jums atrodė glamūriška, istorijos pradžioje glamūro nebuvo visai.Lastly, push the two ends toward each other, separate the middle seams, and flatten the paper to enclose the pages of the book.

Romane daug visko: meilės ir mirties, troškimo gyventi ir veikti, baisingos frustracijos ir smulkių laimės užuominų, karališkojo dvaro vaizdų, šlykščių dvokiančių skersgatvių, nukirstų galvų ir virstančių žarnų. Set in eighteenth century Switzerland, France, and England, Little introduces us to a cast of characters, each distinctive and dramatic, who develop and mature over almost ninety years. This is a lively, entertaining and informative look at the life of Madame Tussaud, of the waxworks fame, and for the most part I really enjoyed it. Skaitydama galvojau apie Tokarczuk Bėgūnus: juk ten irgi nesiliaujantis žmogaus kūno konservavimas, saugojimas, preparavimas susijęs su noru atsiminti ir išlaikyti. I am not the kind of person that wants to go look at celebrity or famous figures at a waxworks museum so I wouldn’t normally have chosen this book out of the pile of historical fiction to read right now.

I couldn't believe in his main character and was glad to escape the stale air of the narrative by the end. I was not much bigger, at first, than the size of my mother's little hands put together, and I was not expected to live very long.

And so you get to see Marie develop alongside the characters she finds herself attached to, and watch how the push and pull of those attachments alternately leave Marie alienated or supported. Kudos to the author for a unique telling that completely encompasses the reader with a feeling of macabre.

Set in Paris during the 1700’s, the novel could easily be described as Dickensian in its style, tone and its cast of thoroughly odd and memorable characters. Carey, an English playwright and novelist whose previous books include the Iremonger Trilogy, is married to Elizabeth McCracken and teaches at the University of Austin, Texas. Author Edward Carey has supplied finely placed drawings throughout that add something different to his very readable writings as Maria in the first person. Carefully place the tape on the front of the book spine and wrap it around the back so that half of the tape is on each side of the front and back book page. Skaitant neapleido mintis, kad „Mažė“ beveik dikensiška – istorija tokia gyva, maloniai didesnės apimties, o ir papildyta iliustracijomis, kurios suaugusiųjų knygose atsiranda retokai – o ir kodėl?
