In the age of Columbus, an explorer of a whole different sort is threatening to throw off the steady balance of the church. Physician Mateo Colombo took to mapping out the human body, along the way discovering sexual truths that went against the entire secular order of the day's renaissance society. By force of the Church's influence, Colombo is put behind bars for the facts he has uncovered about the body, sexuality and biology. The Anatomist is a delicious work, ripe with sensuality and history. Federico Andahazi paints the times with perfect sense and a delightful energy that brings it right to life. | The Anatomist by Federico Andahazi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
