Recenzii

The truth of the Elephant Man Upon seeing the movie "The Elephant Man" I was immediately possessed by an overwhelming urge to know how much of the movie was true, and how much was false. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book answered every question I had, and more. Ashley Montagu has researched the subject with such a tenacity that it truly boggles my mind that he was able to collect all this information. To this day, I cannot fathom Joseph Merrick; by all accounts, after everything that happened to him, he should have been bitter and spiteful to the core, yet he was instead a shining example of courage, dignity, and the human spirit. This book illuminates that undying spirit in a way that is hard to describe. I would recommend this book to everybody. -Reviewed in the U.S. on April 6, 2002, By Amazon customer helpdeskdan
Beauty inside the beast A tragic and heroic documentary of a persons ability to prevail with grace over the most horrendous birth defect imaginable. A great read, I learned a lot. -Reviewed in the U.S. on Sept. 23, 2016, By Amazon customer Ediucci
