Sobre IBD

This is a new edition of Frederick Treves book with the text having been editted to remove typographical errors. The story of Merrick’s (the Elephant Man’s) life published in 1923 is the source of most of what is known about the man, and forms the basis of the films, television adaptations and plays that followed. However, the story about Merrick is only one of many of Doctor Treves’ reminiscences, each of them absorbing and fascinating. This book gives a great insight into medical changes and problems at the time and forms the memoirs of a great doctor with a distinguished medical career.
