Human Monster, Pig Man, 16th Century

Woodcut of a "pig, having the head, hands, and feet of a man and the rest of a pig" from Des Monstres et prodiges by Ambroise Paré, 1573. Des Monstres is filled with unsubstantiated accounts of sea devils, marine sows, and monstrous animals with human faces. With its extensive discussion of reproduction and illustrations of birth defects, the book invited accusations of pornography. A monster is any creature, usually found in legends or horror fiction, that is often hideous and may produce fear or physical harm by its appearance and/or its actions. The word monster derives from Latin monstrum, an aberrant occurrence, usually biological, that was taken as a sign that something was wrong within the natural order. The word usually connotes something wrong or evil; a monster is generally morally objectionable, physically or psychologically hideous, and/or a freak of nature. It can also be applied figuratively to a person with similar characteristics like a greedy person or a person who does horrible things.

Human Monster, Pig Man, 16th Century
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Xilografía de un "cerdo, que tiene cabeza, manos y pies de hombre y el resto de un cerdo" de Des Monstres et prodiges de Ambroise Paré, 1573. Des Monstres está lleno de relatos sin fundamento de demonios marinos, cerdas marinas, y animales monstruosos con rostro humano. Con su extensa discusión sobre reproducción e ilustraciones de defectos de nacimiento, el libro provocó acusaciones de pornografía. Un monstruo es cualquier criatura, generalmente encontrada en leyendas o ficción de terror, que a menudo es espantosa y puede producir miedo o daño físico por su apariencia y/o sus acciones. La palabra monstruo deriva del latín monstrum, un suceso aberrante, generalmente biológico, que se tomaba como señal de que algo andaba mal dentro del orden natural. La palabra suele connotar algo malo o malo; un monstruo es generalmente moralmente objetable, física o psicológicamente horrible y/o un fenómeno de la naturaleza. También se puede aplicar en sentido figurado a una persona con características similares como una persona codiciosa o una persona que hace cosas horribles.
