We have read many life histories of stalwarts including Hahnemann – but this book is different., extraordinary. Every professional and student of Homoeopathy must read this book. The entire story is covered in 37 small chapters precisely, interestingly and beautifully so that the very point will be in the mind of readers. We can read the entire book in a single sitting like reading a novel.
This book by Dr Harsh Nigam MBBS is an effort to expose to the homoeopathic world the unknown known of our master. An attempt to showcase the way Hahnemannian worked, the wisdom with which he swayed in his tasks.
This book describes Hahnemann’s life in 5 epochs – Training Years, Experimental Years, Struggle years, Master Years and Splendid years.
This book will help us to gain insight into how Hahnemann worked, developed a holistic system of medicine and faced all the challenges that came his way.
Dr Hahnemann wrote more than 70 original works in Chemistry and Medicine besides his 24 important translations.
This book is also useful to those who are preparing for various examinations at the college or national level. I recommend this great work to all the students, teachers and professionals in Homoeopathy.
The sincere efforts taken by the author in extensive research and compiling the data from different sources are worthy of commendation.
“Hahnemann, a small thick-set man, constrained in his gate and bearing, with a bald head and a high, beautifully formed forehead. The powerful structure of his face, his square jaw, the almost incessant palpitation of his nostrils, the quivering of the corners of his mouth.”
“The end cam on 5 am Sunday, July 1, 1843 at 89. Body embalmed by Annal, the most up-to-date embalmer in Paris, and remained alone in the house with her dead husband for 11 days…
