The Emperor of All Maladies

Author: Siddhartha Mukherjee

Mukherjee’s “The Emperor of All Maladies” is a gripping journey through the history of cancer. As a physician, he weaves together scientific breakthroughs, personal stories, and his own experiences to create a biography of this formidable disease. I found myself captivated by the human struggles behind each discovery and setback. It’s not just a medical text; it’s a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in the face of our most feared enemy.

Cancer is not simply a lump in the body; it is a disease of the body, and of the mind as well.
