They think it is I who scare them, but it is the dwarf within them, the ape-faced manlike being who sticks up his head from the depths of their souls.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePär Lagerkvist's richly philosophical novel \u003ci\u003eThe Dwarf\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of individual and social identity. The novel, set in a time when Italian towns feuded over the outcome of the last feud, centers on a social outcast, the court dwarf PIccoline. From his special vantage point Piccoline comments on the court's prurience and on political intrigue as the town is gripped by a siege. Gradually, Piccoline is drawn deeper and deeper into the conflict, and he inspires fear and hate around him as he grows to represent the fascination of the masses with violence.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Hill and Wang","offers":[{"title":"Dwarf | Par Lagerkvist | Paperback | 9780374521356 | Used: Good | Back Stacks E 1743475","offer_id":48180549320856,"sku":"1743475","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71xe8joRDiL.jpg?v=1772226929","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/dwarf","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
