Summary: Especially recommended to students of gender studies
Comment: Historian and academician Piotr Scholz's Eunuchs And Castrati: A Cultural History is a fascinating, informative, insightful study of eunuchs and castrated men throughout human history. Thoroughly researched and wide-ranging, Eunuchs And Castrati covers the role of eunuchs in such diverse lands and eras as Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Byzantine Empire, China, Islam, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Reformation, and 17th and 18th-century Italian opera. Especially recommended to students of gender studies and cultural history, Eunuchs And Castrati is an impressive book written to dispel commonly held myths and draw readers into a fascinating, if somewhat disturbing human phenomena. The excellent English translation also includes a new epilogue by Shelley L. Frisch about eunuchs in the twentieth century.

Summary: very interesting book
Comment: "EUNUCHS AND CASTRATI" is a very recommendable book for everyone who is interested in history, religion, ethnologia, sexologia, various cultures of the world, etc. I recommend the translation not only for the English-speaking people but also for the non-English speaking people.
