adventures and Medicine

A biography we'd like to see more often! The character is fabulous, and the style of Deville, enthusiasm are devouring the book! Who was Yersin? For me just name a French high schools in Vietnam. I bought the book before the Femina award for her catchy title.
This is the first discovery of Pasteur universe in a way a little less copy that we usually present, with its quarrels, its difficulties but also its impulses, this passion for research that sees the end scourges of humanity. Finally it is very close to us, who tremble at the slightest flu from Asia.
The Pasteur come from all over the world, are excellent examples of successful integration, they have had difficult childhoods ... Deville underscores the speaking of the "Jews" of "orphan".
The Story of Yersin is also that of the triumphant colonistion, maritime mail, the beginnings of Air France, and that's exciting.
The hero is the most endearing, often compared to Rimbaud for his life of adventure, but a life that leaves amazing fruit, plague bacillus, exploring the geography of Central Vietnam, the introduction of new crops, including that of rubber.
