Synopsis "at the will of the body,reflections on illness (in English)"

A medical sociologist who has been seriously ill twice (heart attack and cancer) explores his experiences and examines what they taught him about how to live. An important resource for caregivers and patients.In this deeply affecting memoir, Arthur W. Frank explores the events of illness from within: the transformation from person to patient, the pain, the wonder, and the ceremony of recovery. To illuminate what illness can teach us about life, Frank draws upon his own encounters with serious illness--a heart attack at age thirty-nine and, a year later, a diagnosis of cancer. In poignant and clear prose, he offers brilliant insights into what happens when our bodies and emotions are pushed to extremes. Ultimately, he examines what it means to be human.

Yenny Alejandra Gomez AguirreThursday, January 14, 2021

Excellent narrative, it makes you feel and think differently about life, and more importantly, about little things maybe you're missing in the daily life, it's a reflective book. And if you have or had an ill relative, or even you are passing through sickness right now, it's a good way to help you understand how to deal with it.
