Hurdy Gurdy

'What the doctor ordered . What he doesn't realise is that encountering an illness and understanding it are two quite different things. An uproarious and uplifting novel about sickness and health, the fashions of 14th Century medicine, and how perhaps we're never quite as cutting-edge as we might like to believe.

Ceea ce nu realizeaza el este ca intalnirea unei boli si intelegerea ei sunt doua lucruri destul de diferite. Un roman zgomotos si inaltator despre boala si sanatate, despre modele medicinei din secolul al XIV-lea si despre cum, poate, nu suntem niciodata atat de modern pe cat ne-am dori sa credem.
