Over the centuries, some of the greatest literary characters of all time — heroes and villains, cowards and revolutionaries, romantics and monsters — have been doctors. From Zhivago and Bovary to Jekyll and Frankenstein, Remarkable Doctors is a fascinating collection, analysis and overview of world literature’s favourite physicians.
Throughout this unusual book, author Ignasi Riera examines each doctor with a loving attention to detail, examining the human side of doctors that is rarely seen, and allowing the reader the rare chance to truly get to know these beloved characters.
Indeed, after reading this book, we wouldn’t be surprised if you think twice about your physician – who knows what kind of double life he or she might lead outside the office?
