Taboo

Mehr zum Buch

Set in the fictional realm of Philistia, this comic fantasy explores the absurdities of societal norms and censorship through its inhabitants' rigid stance against indecency, which constantly shifts. The narrative serves as a clever critique of the critics and authorities who deemed Cabell's work inappropriate, reflecting the tensions between artistic expression and moral standards. Compiled from a fictional medieval manuscript, it offers a humorous yet poignant commentary on the nature of taboo and the complexities of cultural values.
