SUNDAY TIMES ‘Essential reading’ INDEPENDENT ‘Masterly’ GUARDIAN
‘Extraordinary’ NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AN OBSERVER BEST BOOK OF
THE CENTURY SO FAR Riveting, audacious and now more urgent than
ever in this vast update, The Emperor of All Maladies is a
masterpiece. The story of cancer is a human one – a tale of chance
discoveries, seized opportunities and human endurance. From
innovative early surgeries to the Curies’ ultimately tragic work
with radiation, from Sidney Farber’s hugely risky discovery of
chemotherapy to the author’s treatment of his own patients, The
Emperor of All Maladies is a profound and revelatory portrait of an
enigmatic disease humans have lived with, and perished from, for
more than five thousand years. In this updated edition of
Siddhartha Mukherjee’s instant classic, four new chapters reveal
what has changed in the universe of cancer in the years since the
book was first published. With moving eloquence, he offers an
insight into our evolving understanding of cancer’s causes and the
emerging, revolutionary new treatments that might shape its future,
including those that Mukherjee himself has helped devise. ‘This
elegantly written overview allows us to look a once whispered-about
illness squarely in the eye’ INDEPENDENT ‘The notion of ",popular
science", doesn't come close to describing this achievement. It is
literature’ OBSERVER
