Description
Set in Padua between the thirteenth century and World War I, this book accompanies the reader on a journey over seven centuries of discovery, obstacles, and the revolutionary innovations of medical science. Within its pages, the reader finds the introverted student who graduated in Padua in the sixteenth century and who changed the study of anatomy forever. It tells of an astronomer accused of heresy. The story of a professor killed at sunset behind the Basilica del Santo. The story of the doctor who visited each dwelling, even the humblest, to understand the relationship between work and illness. These and many more, as this is the history of medicine and those who wrote it with dedication and passion.
