Description
Is it possible for the human mind to exist outside the body? And if so, what awaits that mind under the rule of a morally unscrupulous man?
With his audacious experiments, Professor Dowell never imagined that one day he himself would be the subject—while his former student would gain full ownership of his teacher’s head in order to dispose of his brilliant thoughts without punishment...
“What made me think of writing him? I can tell you that ‘The Professor Dowell’s Head’ is, to a considerable extent... autobiographical. An illness once laid me up for three and a half years in a plaster bed. That period of illness was accompanied by paralysis of the lower half of my body. And although I could use my hands, during those years my life was reduced to the life of a ‘head without a body’—which I felt absolutely nothing of: full anesthesia. That’s when I changed my mind and felt everything that a ‘head without a body’ might experience,”
