"What do the statues of the world have to offer? The Great Sphinx of Giza, the Caryatids in Athens or the dragon of the Forbidden City in Beijing... are statues that have witnessed... the course of history. But what if these witnesses could talk? What would they say? In this exciting collection of stories, statues have their say. Statues of the world meet fiction and information across seven stories that contain universal themes such as freedom, fantasy or love. Each of the stories takes as inspiration a representative of world culture in the form of a statue, and this is both a literary genre and a black novel of tragedy and legend... after each story there is a page about the statue and the culture that built it"--cataloger's summary.
