An orphan leaves Dark Ages London to study medicine in Persia in this "rich" and "vivid" historical novel from a New York Times-bestselling author (The New York Times). A child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware something is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift--an acute sensitivity to impending death--never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer. Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world's most renowned physician, Avicenna. How the woman who is his great love struggles against her only rival--medicine--makes a riveting modern classic. The Physician is the first book in New York Times-bestselling author Noah Gordon's Dr. Robert Cole trilogy, which continues with Shaman and concludes with Matters of Choice.… (altro)
Meravigliosi scenari del medioevo oirentale, giuste dosi di violenza e pathos, un giro del mondo degno di essere chiamato tale tra pericoli e la voglia matta di un giovane inglese di diventare medico. Consiglio vivamente la sua lettura perchè è un libro che porta ad essere anche riletto dopo un po' di tempo. Ottimo lavoro di Noah Gordon. Il libro fa parte di una trilogia quindi anche le opere venute appresso andrebbero lette. ( )

Hastening to struggle with it, he never failed to know -- as he had known from the first day in the maristan -- a rush of wondering gratitude that he was chosen, that it was he whom God's hand had reached out and touched, and that such an opportunity to minister and serve should have been given to Barber's boy.
