Una novela histórica sobre experimentos psiquiátricos con mujeres que ha conmocionado a la sociedad francesa.

Estamos en París en 1885. Como cada año a mediados de Cuaresma, se celebra el popular baile de primavera en el hospital de la Salpêtrière, donde durante una noche la flor y nata de París se encanalla al ritmo de valses y polcas en compañía de las internas, ataviadas con los más extravagantes disfraces. Una velada festiva que, en el fondo, esconde una sórdida realidad: el baile no es más que uno de los últimos experimentos del profesor Charcot, decidido a convertir a las enfermas de la Salpêtrière en mujeres como las demás. Gracias a la escritura depurada de Victoria Mas y a una admirable reconstrucción histórica, esta primera novela, terrible pero poderosa, se ha convertido en un himno de libertad en honor a todas las mujeres.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"An historical novel about psychiatric experiments on women that has shocked French society.

We're in Paris in 1885. As it happens every year, during the middle of Lent, the popular spring dance is held at the Hospital de la Salpêtrière, where during one night the cream of Paris society is channeled in, to the rhythm of waltzes and polkas, with the company of the residents, dressed in the most extravagant costumes. A festive evening that, deep down, hides a sordid reality: dancing is just one of the last experiments of Professor Charcot, determined to turn the Salpêtrière patients into women like the rest. Thanks to the refined writing of Victoria Mas and an admirable historical reconstruction, her first novel, terrible but powerful, has become a hymn of freedom in honor of all women.

As advertised for once! Lol

Queen size set of 2 pillows, I'm giving it 5stars first bc it has a good length and width!! If you've ever bought memory foam pillows before you know some are small!! Anyways after having it for 5nights, we loved that me and my huddy could adjust the Thickness amount we had in it to our needs, me needing a thick pillow and my husband needing a flatter one. So this was perfect for that. So far its nice to sleep on, stays cool, doesnt get hot. I would say its on the frimer side but softer the more foam you take out! Really its just good for the amount you spend!! Will it last 10years probably not but what does now a days. This is the only time my huddy n I bought the same pillow and both love it so I'm just still in shock it worked out so well!!

Adjustable pillows
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I love these because they don't go flat. You can pull out whatever you need to make them comfy for you. They come in two different layers. So you have that protective cover over the main case that holds the memory foam. They're amazing to sleep on. I have had these last for years without going flat. If you hate flat pillows this is the way to go. They are very easy to wash. You just have to separate layers. They are very thick, you can adjust the thickness. Everyone in my house has at least one. They are worth the money. I have never had to replace them, because they went flat.

Good pillows
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Takes some getting used to but and the cooling doesn’t last very long in my opinion, but overall amazing comfy pillows. The materials are good and are washable. I mostly stopped waking up with a stiff neck and back.
