Con Falloppio La fraternidad de la carne, Juan Carlos Arbex se adentra en un relato histórico de la medicina occidental. Datada a mediados del Cinquecento, la trama traslada al lector hasta las aulas universitarias y los paisajes de Padua y Venecia entre los años 1553 y 1562, con la anatomía humana y la especiería (botánica medicinal) como ejes centrales. Sus actores principales, Gabriel Falloppio y Melchor Guilandino, en compañía de sus alumnos de Arte y Medicina, se mueven a través del Véneto en un período convulso para toda Europa, ahogada en un áspero conflicto religioso y sometida a las apetencias de poder de las grandes familias y las potencias mediterráneas.En el relativamente calmado escenario veneciano, alumnos y profesores pugnan por establecer nuevos métodos docentes en las Universidades italianas, aportando ideas sobre las causas de la enfermedad y su curación, anatomizando cuerpos en busca de los secretos de la vida y la muerte. Al mismo tiempo, en la bondadosa y breve existencia de Falloppio, fallecido a la temprana edad de 39 años, se dan cita los destellos de libertad traídos por el Renacimiento, la absoluta fidelidad a la amistad, el ansia total por el conocimiento y su transmisión, dentro de una Universidad, la de Padua, donde se forjaron y consolidaron muchos de los conocimientos de nuestra actual medicina.
