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.

Nice BIG enameled cast iron dutch oven. like LeCreuset but costs less
Color: Blue, Size: 6-Quart
This is nice quality, similar to the far more costly French LeCreuset brand. I was surprised how big this model is, possibly too big for my small kitchen and limited storage space. I store it in the oven. It would be great for baking sourdough boule bread.

Enamel finish
Color: Matte Navy, Size: 6-Quart
This is an amazing pot, got the 6 Qt for beautiful roast dinners and for baking bread. All comes out evenly baked. Cast Iron is best and it has a nice finish for easy clean up.

Great quality. Easy to clean. Nice appearance.
Color: Red, Size: 4.3-Quart
Solid, heavy pot for cooking and baking. I bought it mainly for making soups, stews and breads. I have only tried soups thus far. The pot cleaned up very easily. The bottom of the pot heated uniformly. Nothing was stuck to the pot when I was simmering on the glass top stove. I have not had the chance to bake yet, but seeing how evenly it held heat while cooking, I am thinking this will be perfect. I bought the red color. It gives a nice pop of color in my kitchen. This pot will probably last me a long time. I would buy one if I needed a replacement, or a gift for someone.

Great quality for price after 3 years of use
Color: Matte Navy, Size: 6-Quart, Color: Matte Navy, Size: 6-Quart
I’m 3.5 years in and use it weekly. So far it’s been a great product especially for the price. We are really into soups, roast, and I bake bread a lot. This thing is amazing and a great quality. It’s easy to clean, does great in the oven, and stands up great to constant use. I only have a small amount of staining at the bottom, and a couple scratches from metal utensils. The lid is solid and the handle is really secure still, which is a problem I’ve had with other brands I’ve tried.
