«Cuerpos y almas» is the contemporary fiction novel by Maxence Van Der Meersch, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (800 pages, in Spanish).
At the L'Egalité university hospital, in the late 1930s, the life of Dr Michel Doutreval serves as the thread. Cuerpos y almas portrays the microcosm of the medical school: the humiliations suffered by prostitutes and tuberculosis patients, the corporatism of doctors born into privilege, and the social climbing of some doctors of humble origin.
Cuerpos y almas was originally published as Corps et âmes in 1943 and won the Prix de l'Académie française.
Cuerpos y almas is a read for those interested in realist narrative, with a medical setting and social backdrop in 1930s France.
Maxence Van der Meersch was a French Flemish writer.
