Dr John Webster (1610-1682), was a defrocked cleric, Schoolmaster, alchemist, astrologer, surgeon and writer. He is at once arrogant, worldly and with a wry sense of humour. Written mainly in the first person, this historical fiction is based on his life.

Dr. John Webster (1610-1682), a fost un cleric defrocat, profesor de scoala, alchimist, astrolog, chirurg si scriitor. Este in acelasi timp arogant, lumesc si cu un simt al umorului ironic.
