El Medico / The Physician (Extraordinaria Aventura) Book
This dazzling epic describes an 11th century man's passion to defeat illness and death, to alleviate the pain of his fellowman and to share the near-mystical gift of healing that has been bestowed upon him. His journey leads him through the brutality and ignorance of England and the sensual turbulence and splendor of Persia. There he meets Avicena, a legendary master who is experimenting with the first tools of modern medicine. A millennium has elapsed since then, but the narrative talent of Noah Gordon makes this startling journey a unique experience which brings the story to life. Blurb in Spanish: Esta deslumbrante epopeya describe la pasión de un hombre del siglo XI por vencer la enfermedad y la muerte, aliviar el dolor de sus semejantes e impartir el don de sanar, casi místico, que le ha sido otorgado. Esta pasión le lleva desde la brutalidad y la ignorancia de la Inglaterra de su época a la sensual turbulencia y el esplendor de la Persia remota, donde conoce al legendario maestro Avicena, que está experimentando con las primeras armas de la medicina moderna. Nueve siglos han transcurrido desde aquel entonces, pero el talento narrativo de Noah Gordon hace de este viaje iniciático una experiencia única, que convierte la historia en vida real.Read More
