Présentation de l'éditeur

Doctor Therne is a 1898 science fiction novel about a plague that sweeps England. It tells the story of "James Therne", a promising young doctor who suffers some early tragedies. He is unjustly accused in a malpractice case, loses all his patients even though he is acquitted, and later suffers the loss of his young wife. Though a staunch believer in vaccination, he runs for Parliament on an anti-vaccination platform, selling out his beliefs and morals for political gain and filthy lucre.
