內容簡介
中文版書名為《萬病之王》
本書是精彩而深刻人性化的癌症「傳記」,從數千年前首篇記載的文獻,到二十世紀的治療與控制;從征服它如史詩般壯烈的戰役,到對它本質的全新理解。穆克吉身為醫師、研究員和奪得大獎的科學作家,以分子生物學者的精準,歷史學家的視野和傳記作家的熱情來檢視癌症,創作出這本既流暢又深入淺出的癌症疾病史。
全書不僅讓讀者一窺未來癌症治療的堂奧,對於尋求解開癌症之謎的人,除了可從書中清晰勾勒出癌症面貌之外,也能從中感受到希望的力量。
The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years.
