Herr Rau hat The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences von Frederick Treves besprochen
Review of 'The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences' on 'Goodreads'
4,0 stars
Memoir-anecdotes of a Victorian-Edwardian surgeon. I read it for the famous Elephant man account, but stayed for the vivid writing - two stories could easily pass for ghost stories, the rest is atmospheric, only very occasionally melodramatic, and told me lots of things about early hospitals that I didn't know.
