Acerca de este título
At the dawn of the Enlightenment, James Dyer is born unable to feel pain. A source of wonder and scientific curiosity as a child, he rises through the ranks of Georgian society to become a brilliant surgeon. Yet as a human being he fails, for he can no more feel love and compassion than pain. Until, en route to St Petersburg to inoculate the Empress Catherine against smallpox, he meets his nemesis and saviour.
(P)2019 Hodder & Stoughton Limited©1997 Andrew Miller
Reseñas de la crítica
A wild adventure through 18th-century England and Russia, medicine, madness, landscape and weather, rendered in prose of consummate beauty
A really remarkable first novel, original, powerfully written . . . Miller's narrative is gripping and his imagination extraordinary
Astoundingly good . . . it shines like a beacon
Timeless and thought-provoking . . . it is something very rare in modern fiction, a true work of art
Gripping . . . a dazzling debut
Dazzling . . . Miller tackles notions of mortality and humanity to brilliant effect . . . truly wonderful
An extraordinary first novel . . . one is constantly delighted with strange and vivid imagery, fresh and startling metaphors, flashes of insight, deft twists of plot and resonant variations on dominant themes . . . a mature novel of ideas soaked in the sensory detail of its turbulent times
Exceptionally intelligent and elegant . . . remarkable for its feeling and its humane sensibility
A true rarity: a debut novel which is original, memorable, engrossing and subtle
Strange, unsettling, sad, beautiful and profound . . . the sense of period is brilliantly handled
More than merits comparison with the likes of Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus and Patrick Süskind's Perfume . . . a blistering debut
The novel's evocation of the period, down to the finest detail, is thoroughly confident . . . a startling novel
A finely wrought and provocative novel
Impressive
