Metamorfoz İnsan Vücudunda Değişimin Öyküsü
Metamorphosis: The Story of Change in the Human Body Book Description
“The whole being flows, everything changes, everything transforms.” OVIDIUS
Living means being in a constant state of change: growing, healing, learning, aging.
Gavin Francis has seen many things throughout his life as a doctor: the promising law student suffering from anorexia, the bodybuilder about to lose his chance of becoming a father because of banned steroids, the young man crushed under the chaotic physiology of adolescence, the woman whose joy does not fade even though she has a horn in the middle of her forehead...
In his highly praised book, Metamorphosis, Gavin Francis brings together the cases he personally encountered in his medical life with stories from the history of medicine, art, literature and mythology, and explains why change lies at the core of being human. In Francis' hands, each case becomes an opportunity for the biological, psychological and philosophical exploration of our identities and natures.
“Amazing… How Francis changes the human body and mind by examining the history of medicine and medical cases with the same ease.”
“It shows that you are resourceful.”
