Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The autobiography of a quack and the case of George Dedlow presents a sharp and humorous perspective on human folly through the recollections of a deceitful individual reflecting on a life shaped by self-interest and moral failure. Set within the framework of a hospital confession, the narrative traces the rise and downfall of a man who once aspired to practice medicine but instead succumbed to questionable motives and unethical dealings. His story unfolds with moments of irony and satire, exposing the clash between greed and integrity within society and the medical profession. Through his experiences of failed ambitions, dishonest ventures, and misguided choices, the narrative highlights the tension between outward respectability and inward corruption. The tone alternates between humor and remorse as the protagonist recognizes the consequences of his deception. Beneath its comic surface lies a critique of opportunism and the human capacity for self-delusion, turning a personal tale of failure into a broader moral reflection on ambition, integrity, and redemption. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789373400556
