About the Book

Un libro que ha cautivado y conmovido a crítica y público.

Henry Marsh, el eminente neurocirujano británico expone a ojos del mundo la esencia de una de las especialidades médicas más difíciles, delicadas y fascinantes que existen.

El resultado es este volumen que poco tiempo después de su publicación se encaramó a las listas de más vendidos del Sunday Times y el New York Times. Escogido «Mejor Libro del Año» por el Financial Times y The Economist, obtuvo los premios PEN Ackerley y South Bank Sky Arts y fue finalista del Costa Book Award, el Guardian First Book Award y el Samuel Johnson de no ficción.
A los mandos de un microscopio ultrapotente y un catéter de alta precisión, el doctor Marsh se abre camino por los intersticios del cerebro. Con frecuencia, de su pericia y de su pulso dependen que un paciente recupere la visión o acabe en una silla de ruedas. Hay días en los que salva vidas, pero también hay jornadas nefastas en las que un pequeño error o una cadena de infortunios lo hacen sentirse el ser más desdichado sobre la faz de la Tierra.

Mucho más cercano a una confesión personal que a una autobiografía complaciente con el autor, este libro -cuyo título se inspira en el juramento hipocrático- supone un auténtico alarde de valentía y de honestidad intelectual, un relato vibrante y luminoso que logra remover nuestros sentimientos más profundos y ensanchar nuestro umbral de sabiduría y compasión.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review and
The Washington Post

What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands, to cut into the stuff that creates thought, feeling and reason? How do you live with the consequences of performing a potentially lifesaving operation when it all goes wrong?

With astonishing compassion and candor, leading neurosurgeon Henry Marsh reveals the fierce joy of operating, the profoundly moving triumphs, the harrowing disasters, the haunting regrets and the moments of black humor that characterize a brain surgeon's life. Do No Harm provides unforgettable insight into the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern hospital. Above all, it is a lesson in the need for hope when faced with life's most difficult decisions.
About the Author: Henry Marsh (Oxford, 1950) cursó Ciencias Políticas, Filosofía y Economía en la Universidad de Oxford, antes de estudiar Medicina en el Royal Free Hospital de Londres. Ingresó en el Colegio Real de Cirujanos en 1984, y ejerció durante más de treinta años de especialista en neurocirugía en el Atkinson Morley del St. George's Hospital de Londres hasta su jubilación en 2015.

Su primer libro, Ante todo no hagas daño, que ha sido un bestseller internacional, ganó el Pen Ackerley Prize y el South Bank Sky Awards for Literature y se tradujo a más de veinte idiomas. Además, el doctor Marsh ha protagonizado dos documentales -Your Life in Their Hands, ganador del Premio Royal Television Society Gold Medal, y The English Surgeon, que obtuvo un Emmy- y fue nom-brado Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico en 2010. Confesiones, su segundo libro, ha sido finalista del National Book Critics Circle Award (2017) en el apartado de biografías.
