First published in 1967, this fictionalized study of the life of a doctor from rural Gloucestershire is a masterpiece of documentary prose. It is a collaborative work that combines the text of Booker Prize winner John Birger (1926-2017) with the photographs of Swiss documentarian Jean Mora (1925-2018) in a series of superbly analytical, sociological and philosophical reflections on the role of the doctor, the roots of cultural and intellectual deprivation and the motivations behind the work of the 'country doctor'. Revolutionary for its time and relevant half a century later, the essay serves as a monument to a virtually forgotten medical practice, free from the commercialization of disease and the depersonalization of the patient, where the doctor who seeks to look into the soul of the patient to understand and alleviate his suffering can be called a "happy man."
