Esta fascinante novela describe la pasión de un hombre del siglo XI por vencer la enfermedad y la muerte, aliviar el dolor de sus semejantes e impartir el don casi místico de sanar que le ha sido otorgado. Esa pasión le llevará desde la brutalidad y la ignorancia de la Inglaterra de su época a la sensual turbulencia y el esplendor de la remota Persia, donde conocerá al legendario maestro Avicena, que está experimentando con las primeras armas de la medicina moderna

Review of 'The physician' on 'Goodreads'

Easily my most favorite historical fiction. I read it as a teenager, and have re-read it multiple times since then. The story of Rob Cole who wants to become a real physician instead of merely a barber-surgeon, in the 11th century. In the guise of a Jewish man, he travels all the way to Persia to study in Isfahan.

Colorful and broad in scope, I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in historical fiction. Of all the Cole Family books it's easily the most enjoyable one.
