Overview
El conocido neurocirujano se enfrenta a su propia enfermedad
Un libro elegíaco y luminoso sobre la vida y la muerte, por el autor de Ante todo no hagas daño.
Como neurocirujano jubilado, Henry Marsh creyó saber lo que era estar enfermo, pero no estaba preparado para recibir un diagnóstico de cáncer avanzado. Tras el impacto de la noticia, el autor indaga en lo que sucede cuando alguien que se ha pasado todo el tiempo luchando en primera línea ante la difusa frontera entre la vida y la muerte, se encuentra de frente con lo que podría ser su propia sentencia final.
Esta nueva entrega de las memorias de Henry Marsh, un neurocirujano humanista y solidario que sorprendió y conmovió a los lectores de todo el mundo con Ante todo no hagas daño, no es tanto una meditación sobre la muerte sino más bien una celebración de la vida y de todo aquello que de verdad importa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the bestselling neurosurgeon and author of Do No Harm, comes Henry Marsh's And Finally, an unflinching and deeply personal exploration of death, life and neuroscience.
As a retired brain surgeon, Henry Marsh thought he understood illness, but he was unprepared for the impact of his diagnosis of advanced cancer. And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.
As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much a book about death, but a book about life and what matters in the end.
