Rob J. Cole, un joven londinense del siglo XI que pertenece a una familia de carpinteros, queda hu?rfano a los nueve a?os y con la responsabilidad de cuidar de sus cuatro hermanos menores, a quienes va encontrando hogar.
Primera entrega de la apasionante historia de Rob J. Cole, que contin?a con Cham?n y La doctora Cole.
Una vez solo coincide con Henry Croft, un cirujano barbero que deambula por Inglaterra montando espect?culos y dedic?ndose a ejercer de curandero para vender un ung?ento milagroso y del que se convierte en aprendiz. Con Henry Croft comparte viaje, cartel y beneficios hasta que el maestro muere. Y es entonces cuando conoce a Benjam?n Merl?n, un m?dico jud?o que le alenta a superarse y hacer realidad su sue?o, y que le habla del m?s eminente m?dico de la remota Persia: Ibn Sina o Avicena. Rob, llevado por su pasi?n por sanar y aliviar el dolor, llega a Oriente donde se har? pasar por jud?o y adoptar? el nombre de Jesse ben Benjam?n, para no destacar como europeo y poder hacer realidad su sue?o: estudiar medicina en la madraza de Ispah?n. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An orphan leaves Dark Ages London to study medicine in Persia in this "rich" and "vivid" historical novel from a New York Times-bestselling author (The New York Times).
A child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware something is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift--an acute sensitivity to impending death--never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer. Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world's most renowned physician, Avicenna. How the woman who is his great love struggles against her only rival--medicine--makes a riveting modern classic. The Physician is the first book in New York Times-bestselling author Noah Gordon's Dr. Robert Cole trilogy, which continues with Shaman and concludes with Matters of Choice.
