Description
Dr Alexandre Yersin's life was one of unrelenting curiosity and courage. As a brilliant young scientist, he identified and vaccinated against bubonic plague in 1894, a discovery that would later bear his name.
A true traveller of the century, Yersin's adventures took him to Asia, where he sought to comprehend the universe through medicine, agriculture, and technology. His restless spirit and empiricism led him to stand alone as a lone genius against the backdrop of world wars, pandemics, colonialism, and progress.
This captivating novel brings Yersin to vivid life, offering a thrilling tale of adventure, discovery, and the human quest for knowledge.
