I received this book as a gift from amazon. The style is crisp smells, scents, impressions and colors, everything is almost palpable !!! and that of the raw lignes.C'est adventure of an orphan, that life leads to the path of medicine, first as a barber surgeon, then as a medical student who travels through obstacles and the 1000. We learn instead of medicine at that time in the West and in the East. But I do not say more, it would be a pity ... A book to read and very probably has read Amazon.com thank you
