La magistral historia de una vocación por la medicina que traspasará todas las fronteras. El extraordinario viaje que cambiará para siempre el rumbo de su vida. El médico, un clásico contemporáneo, es la primera entrega de la saga de la familia Cole, la obra cumbre de Gordon. Inglaterra, siglo XI. A sus nueve años, tras la muerte de su madre y la pérdida de su hogar, Rob J. Cole se da cuenta de que tiene un don extraordinario: con solo tocar a una persona puede descubrir si está o no cerca de la muerte. Bajo la tutela de Henry Croft, cirujano barbero que recorre el paÃs ejerciendo de curandero, su don crece, asà como su pasión por la medicina. Tras la muerte de su maestro, Rob continua con el negocio, pero el encuentro con Benjamin Merlin, un médico judÃo que le habla del más eminente doctor de la remota Persia, Ibn Sina o Avicena, le impulsa a hacer realidad su sueño. Movido por su pasión por sanar y dispuesto a superar cualquier obstáculo, Rob viajará a Oriente, haciéndose pasar por judÃo y sumergiéndose en nuevos idiomas, dispuesto a estudiar medicina en la madraza de Ispahán. Allà marcará su destino y el de su familia para siempre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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 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.
