{"product_id":"the-man-with-two-heads-jim-chevallier-9781500777623","title":"The Man with Two Heads and His Friends from the Fair: Monologues inspired by French eighteenth century fairs","description":"This playful collection of 14 original monologues gives voice to characters and observers from the 18th century French fairs. Before the Revolution, these were a prime source of entertainment for people of all classes.Among those who speak in these monologues are a man with two heads, a rope dancer, a strong woman, a marionettist, a tumbler, a \"turner\" and various presenters of mechanical or animal exhibits.All of the subjects, even the most unlikely, actually existed in Pre-Revolutionary France. As imagined here, their voices are ribald, resentful, poignant, pensive, cocky, exuberant, and introduce the reader to both the color and variety and some behind the scenes human drama of the once immensely popular Old Regime fairs.This second edition (and first print edition) includes an appendix with glimpses of the inspirations for these pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Chevallier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500777625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500777623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.07d","brand":"Jim Chevallier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436785250559,"sku":"9781500777623","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfdd557e-a266-4da5-894b-e666b6dc6f57.jpg?v=1777157770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-man-with-two-heads-jim-chevallier-9781500777623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
