Immerse yourself in a fascinating journey through the history of surgery with 'The Century of Surgeons' by Jürgen Thorwald. This book narrates the origins and great achievements of surgery, from the first painless operation thanks to anesthesia in 1846 to the advances that allowed surgeons to access previously untouchable parts of the human body. Discover how the most transcendent discoveries were often received with skepticism and resistance from the medical establishment itself, and how modern surgery made its way through innovations that seemed prodigious, such as corneal transplantation.
Jürgen Thorwald was a German writer, journalist and historian known for his works describing the history of forensic medicine and of World War II.
