“A Book as Medicine” is a medical reference book—but a very unusual one. Its distinctive feature is that it describes remedies that you should look for not in pharmacies, but in bookshops and libraries.

It has long been known that in difficult moments people turn to books—to distract themselves from painful thoughts or to get a sensible piece of advice. The authors of this book—British bibliotherapists E. Berdu and S. Eldercin—went even further, suggesting that reading can «heal» not only psychological, but also physical ailments. They studied the two-thousand-year history of world literature, so their “reference book” is distinguished by an enormous breadth of coverage.

Among the literary therapeutic remedies are Balzac’s balms, Tolstoy’s tourniquets that stop bleeding, Saramago’s ointments, and P erek and Proust’s laxatives—plus much more.
