Description
Veresayev’s debut work now in audio format!
Veresayev’s literary debut. An autobiographical book that first saw the light in 1901—and immediately brought the young author wide recognition.
The first steps of a newly minted “escapant”—a doctor beginning his journey in the medical field. Successes and failures. The painful fear of making an error that could ruin an innocent patient. Stresses. Despair. Pride in achievements. Dangerous and morally questionable, yet necessary experiments on people—searching for new methods of treatment. Sensation and scandal: the appearance of women doctors. Russia’s eternal trouble—passion for self-medication and “treatment,” as people would say now, with “non-traditional” methods.
So what exactly is this life of a young, beginning doctor? A feat—or a martyr’s cross? Veresayev keeps asking himself again and again—and can’t find an answer.
