Pregnant Man (Social Orders)
by Roberto Zapperi
Category: Social Science

This book is a most exciting and unusual study of cultural history. The idea of the pregnant man, redolent of bawdy jokes and sexual fantasy, has inspired European literature and folklore since ancient times. Traces of the theme, both comical and disturbing, are found not only in the wealth of tales from Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Finland and other European Countries, but also in the Hebrew and Islamic traditions.
