For decades, he has lived among the monks who watch over his masterpiece, an arresting statue that haunts all who see it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring his final hours, he reveals his life story: his impoverished childhood, brutal apprenticeship, and, most important, his meeting with Viola Orsini, the only daughter of a powerful and dangerous aristocratic family. Mimo and Viola are instantly drawn to one another, viewing themselves as outsiders—Mimo, for his dwarfism, Viola for her ability to remember everything she has ever read or experienced. Together, they traverse the unrest of the twentieth century, from the rise of fascism to the violence of the world wars. While Mimo becomes a celebrated artist, Viola chases her own dreams of becoming an emancipated woman. Over the decades, they will lose and find each other time and again, but never will they give up on the love they share.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImmersive and full of heart, Mimo’s adventures are ribald and hilarious, challenging conventions of his day. Jean-Baptiste Andrea’s Prix Goncourt–winning novel has captivated audiences around the globe and is available to readers in English for the first time thanks to Frank Wynne’s wonderfully vivid translation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col class=\"a-ordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"similarities_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"similarities\" data-csa-c-id=\"f05fdc-26r1jl-v5nlvi-fcpmd9\" data-cel-widget=\"similarities_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"yaxzt2-nyo184-ky4ij0-uknyle\" data-cel-widget=\"sims-consolidated-1_csm_instrumentation_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget pd_rd_w-OyxkH pf_rd_p-6b3eefea-7b16-43e9-bc45-2e332cbf99da pf_rd_r-NC22MC8ZYH4WHD6YDHV9 pd_rd_r-aef32571-4181-4c7a-abac-7617fe13765d pd_rd_wg-wgxb0 c-f\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"amzn1.sym.6b3eefea-7b16-43e9-bc45-2e332cbf99da\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"product-bundle-1\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"p13n-desktop-sims-fbt-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"kkioka-5htnqn-hucmr9-c20ka\" data-cel-widget=\"p13n-desktop-sims-fbt_DPSims_0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eBOOKREAD™ 5-STEP SATISFACTION GUARANTEE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. No Risk, 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. \u003cbr\u003e2. instant download.
