Miracles often happen to the human body. Any deviation from the accepted norm does not go unnoticed. Among us live dwarfs, giants and lunatics. Someone is prone to hallucinations, someone cannot eat at all, many yearn for a lack of sun. These metamorphoses have always given rise to fables and myths, until science seriously took up their study. Gavin Francis explores the most enduring myths and explains their nature. He addresses the changes in the body of his patients, both long-awaited and unwanted, and explains why these metamorphoses are not accidental and are important for all mankind. The author supports all his thoughts with cases from practice and stories from the history of medicine, art, literature, myths.
