A Surgeon's Heart

You are presented with a unique audio edition—the best medical novel of the 20th century, written long before anyone became interested in medical TV series and books. This is a real diary of a surgeon, where the truth is everything—from the first to the last word. The narrative begins in besieged Leningrad, where Fyodor Uglov started working at the hospital.

A gripping description of operations, difficult cases, mysterious diagnoses—everything is presented like a thriller with detective elements. It’s impossible to tear yourself away from the stories from the renowned surgeon’s practice. The plot is tightly wound, the ability to build a narrative arc, the climax and the denouement—this truly is a classic work, next to which many modern bestsellers in this genre look like a miserable helpless parody. The book “The Heart of the Surgeon” has been translated into many languages of the world.
