Čudotvorni doktor s Mauritiusa

Richard Lewinsohn-Morus

The Miracle Doctor from Mauritius is a novel by Richard Lewinsohn, published in 1966. The work explores humanity's fascination with eternal youth and the search for the elixir of life.

The plot follows an enigmatic doctor from the island of Mauritius who claims to have discovered the secret of rejuvenation. His methods and claims arouse curiosity, skepticism and controversy in scientific and social circles. Through the story, the author analyzes the human obsession with youth, the fear of aging and death, and the ethical dilemmas associated with the manipulation of natural processes.

Lewinsohn uses the figure of the doctor as a symbol of the human aspiration to transcend natural limitations, while raising questions about the consequences of such efforts. The novel combines elements of fiction, philosophy and science, encouraging the reader to think about the limits of scientific discoveries and ethics in medicine.

The Miracle Doctor from Mauritius is not only a novelized biography of a great researcher and experimenter in the field of human physiology, Charles Edouard Brown-Sequard, but also a novel about rejuvenation, actually a novel about one of the youngest medical disciplines - gerontology, the science of aging.

Although written several decades ago, The Miracle Doctor from Mauritius remains relevant in the context of contemporary debates about anti-aging technologies and the ethical implications of extending human life.
