Review:
"'So gripping that one reads it at a gallop, almost frantically waiting for more revelations and turns in the story. All in all a brilliant performance' - Edward Said 'Taking historical personalities like toys from a box and giving them new life is the most creative way of playing (in the best sense of the term). It gives another dimension to the theme of this book - the conflict between official medicine and "healers" - and shows that no medicine is effective unless it's based on a philosophy of nature' - Gregor von Rezzoli"
