## Description

Set in the imaginary French province of Poictesme during the first half of the 13th century, FIGURES OF EARTH follows the earthly career of Dom Manuel the the swineherd, who rises to power by playing on others' expectations - his motto Mundus Vult Decipi, meaning " the world wishes to be deceived."
