The Physician

Overview

In the twilight of medieval England, a young barber-surgeon's apprentice, haunted by personal tragedy, embarks on a perilous journey of knowledge. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and the whispers of ancient healing arts, he disguises himself and travels east to the legendary city of Isfahan, a beacon of learning veiled in mystery. There, under the tutelage of a renowned physician, he immerses himself in the vibrant tapestry of Islamic scholarship, confronting not only the complexities of the human body but also the prejudices of his time and the profound secrets that lie at the heart of life and death.
