"Oliver Sacks meets Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Borges in this elegant and magical exploration of the biological worlds within us. From renowned pathologist and medical writer, F. Gonzalez-Crussi, CARRYING THE HEART is an eloquently written medical narrative that explores the world within our bodies, our internal organs. In a fabulous combination of history, humor, science, philosophy, and literature, this completely unique narrative delves into the unknown universe of the body's interior, to inform, enlighten, and entertain on every page. [] As with Gonzalez-Crussi's previous works, CARRYING THE HEART provides readers with a passionate, intriguing, and unique perspective on their own health and internal systems. Covering the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and cardiovascular systems, Gonzalez-Crussi combines the inspiration of Oliver Sacks with the eloquence of Garcia Marquez to produce a masterful journey through the often misunderstood inner worlds that make up the human body. Combining both medical history and literature in equal doses, CARRYING THE HEART is both captivating and remarkable. [] In a world where organ transplants are a daily occurrence and surgical 're-modeling' of the body threaten to reduce human nature to a mere mechanism, Gonzalez-Crussi proves that the wonders of the human body never cease to amaze." [publisher copy] "Gonzalez-Crussi is a master stylist, an erudite and witty raconteur, a magician with words--'an author without peer in our time.'"--Booklist. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.…
