Overview
Un increíble don que enlaza a varias generaciones. Un viaje lleno de amor, descubrimiento, guerra y vida.
Chamán, secuela de El médico, de Noah Gordon, sigue la estela de su predecesora y explora los desafíos de una época convulsa y llena de conflictos.
Norteamérica, siglo XIX. Vástago de una familia que ha practicado la medicina a lo largo de los años, el doctor Robert Judson Cole abandona su Escocia natal buscando un mejor futuro. Tras trabajar con el eminente cirujano Oliver Wendell Holmes, continuará rumbo al Oeste americano junto a su hijo, Robert Jefferson Cole, con el que comparte la pasión por el arte de sanar.
Padre e hijo partirán hasta la frontera de Illinois y de allí a las tierras de Gettysburg, castigadas por la guerra, un territorio que los colonos todavía no han podido arrebatar a los indios sauk. Dispuestos a estudiar las desconcertantes tradiciones curativas de los nativos americanos, aprendiendo de su cultura y sus remedios, padre e hijo parecen haber logrado asentarse. Sin embargo, no han contado con el vórtice sangriento de la Guerra de Secesión, de la que nadie puede escapar...
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An incredible gift that links several generations. A journey full of love, discovery, war, and life.
"Shaman," the sequel to "The Physician" by Noah Gordon, follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and explores the challenges of a tumultuous and conflict-ridden era.
North America, XIX century. Descendant of a family that has practiced medicine over the years, Dr. Robert Judson Cole leaves his native Scotland in search of a better future. After working with the eminent surgeon Oliver Wendell Holmes, he continues westward across America with his son, Robert Jefferson Cole, with whom he shares a passion for the art of healing.
Father and son will travel to the frontier of Illinois and from there to the war-torn lands of Gettysburg, a territory that settlers have yet to wrest from the Sauk Indians. Determined to study the puzzling healing traditions of the Native Americans, learning from their culture and remedies, father and son seem to have settled. However, they have not accounted for the bloody vortex of the Civil War, from which no one can escape...
