Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Take a sip anywhere from this pool of enigmatic yet crystal-clear words.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Broccoli for breakfast is not recommended unless it puts you in touch with central truths about human nature. And in this comic-serious masterpiece, that's exactly what it does for Professor Wilson Ablong, rudely irreverent Nobel laureate and internationally renowned medical hero.
