Veresaev's literary debut. An autobiographical book that first saw the light of day in 1901 - and immediately brought the young author wide fame.
The first steps of a freshly baked esculapist, beginning his journey in the medical field. Fortunes and failures. The agonizing fear of error, which could ruin an innocent patient. Stress. Despair. The pride of success. Dangerous and morally questionable but necessary experiments on human beings, in search of new treatments. Sensation and scandal - the emergence of female doctors. The eternal misfortune of Russia - the passion for self-medication and "treatment", as they would say now, "unconventional" methods. What is it all the same, this life of a young, novice doctor? A feat - or a martyr's cross? Veresaev asks himself this question again and again - and cannot find an answer.
