In this collection of nineteen unforgettable essays, Dr. Selzer describes unsparingly the surgeon’s art. Both moving and perversely funny, Mortal Lessons is an established classic that considers not only the workings and misworkings of the human body but also the meaning of life and death. With a Preface written by the Author especially for this edition.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. "Selected from the author's first two collections, the essays in Mortal Lessons combine unflinchingly exact descriptions of the surgeon's art and those parts of the body with which he may have to deal (the belly, the brain, the liver, the guy) with extraordinarily sympathetic speculations on the beauty, the complexity, and the transience of the human body, and the mixture of awe, compassion and cold professionalism felt by the surgeon as he reaches for the scalpel. Mortal Lessons is not a book for the squeamish: but its combination of bleak horror with anecdotal humour, and reflection with information, make it a unique and disturbing insight into the human condition as well as into the mind and skills of the surgeon." --- Original red papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (22.3 cm height).
