Description du livre

Siddhartha Mukherjee takes the subject of much gravity, cancer with all its metastatic deadliness, and turns it into a tale of life and human ingenuity in THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIES. Mukherjee introduces figures from ancient history who confronted the disease, as well as contemporary medical researchers who pushed forward the leaps in understanding its causes in the genetics era, plus patients struggling with their own treatment and uncertainty for the future. The result is not an investigation of a biological pathology, but what the author calls "a biography of cancer." Selected by Publishers Weekly as a 2010 Top 100 Book and by the New York Times Book Review as one of the 10 Best Books of 2010.
