O século XIX trouxe avanços tecnológicos e industriais em diversas áreas. Uma, porém, ficou para trás: a Medicina. Ao redor do planeta, a mortalidade infantil alcançava taxas altíssimas e a expectativa de vida era baixa. Doenças diversas castigavam a população. Mas o cenário mudou ao longo do século XX. Este livro narra, de forma deliciosa, como médicos e cientistas lançavam mão de criatividade, coragem e raciocínio lógico para tornar os progressos possíveis. Experimentos desumanos, antiéticos, acaso e sorte também contribuíram para descobertas inesperadas e revolucionárias. Essa novela, em que a mente humana foi uma das únicas ferramentas disponíveis, é contada pelos médicos Stefan Cunha Ujvari e Tarso Adoni em paralelo aos principais acontecimentos do século XX. Duas histórias inseparáveis, já que fatos históricos precipitaram descobertas médicas, e estas também influenciaram os rumos do século.

Os tópicos selecionados pelo autor com certeza trazem muitas informações e são interessantes, mas as histórias poderiam ser contadas de maneira mais envolvente. Às vezes, o término é abrupto demais.
Mas com certeza vale a leitura.
