Такое чувство, что она не закончена. Знаете, в психологии есть такое понятия, к

This was a very interesting story depicting the life of a new doctor in 1882 England. The moral fibre of the doctor was impeccable and showed such a stark contrast to thinkers of today. It made me wonder if society has intellectually lessened over the past 137 years. Just listen to any British or Am

Se trata de una novela de género epistolar, pero amena. El doctor Stark Munro relata a un amigo suyo en una seriende cartas sus andanzas desde que se gradúa hasta que se asienta en la vida.
Me resultó ameno, aunque no me agradó cómo acaba.

I'm surprised that this book doesn't seem to attracted any other reviews, though most of ACD's other little known works have done so.

If you know and like ACD's other work, then this is a truly fascinating book. It's a series of twelve letters, supposedly written by a young doctor to a friend and for
