It has long been known that in difficult moments of life people reach for a book--to distract themselves from difficult thoughts or to get sound advice. British "bibliotherapists" E. Berthoud and S. Elderkin went even further, suggesting that reading can treat not only the soul, but also the body. They have compiled a kind of "literary healing book" from which the reader learns which books are best to read for certain diseases. In this handbook of literary remedies - balms from Balzac, hemostatic tourniquets from Tolstoy, ointments from Saramago, laxatives from Perec and Proust and much more. In addition, The Book as Medicine is a wonderful overview of masterpieces of world literature.
