"Henry Marsh is not afraid to admit: it is extremely difficult for a doctor to be honest, it is extremely painful to talk about one's mistakes. His new book is an extremely personal memoir that strikes with frankness, wisdom, and the literary skill. Cases from the surgical practice in Britain, Nepal, Ukraine are interspersed with vivid episodes from his youth, simple and at the same time stunningly deep reflections on what really matters." Translated from English by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna
