Love in the shade of the piles. Review of “Blue Body” by Mai Free

Copernicus becomes a symbolic figure in the fresh Body of Heaven: individual who looks to the sky but besides lives in a planet full of fear, superstition and force against women. On the 1 hand, it represents a intellectual breakthrough, the courage to question the order of the world, but on the another hand, it functions in an age where women were treated as suspicious beings, easy accused of witchcraft and deprived of voting rights. It is simply a time of large discoveries and cruel oppression, in which discipline and humanism could go hand in hand with force and social blindness.
