Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize The Top Ten Bestseller Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month A Sunday Times Paperback of the Year If you want to read a book that moves you both at the level of sentence and the quality of language and with the emotional depth of its subject matter, then A Fortunate Woman is definitely the book you should be reading - Samanth Subramanian, Baillie Gifford judge When Polly Morland is clearing out her mothers house she finds a book that will lead her to a remarkable figure living on her own doorstep: the country doctor who works in the same remote, wooded valley she has lived in for many years. This doctor is a rarity in contemporary medicine she knows her patients inside out, and their stories are deeply entwined with her own. In A Fortunate Woman, with its beautiful photographs by Richard Baker, Polly Morland has written a profoundly moving love letter to a landscape, a community and, above all, to what it means to be a good doctor. Morland writes about nature and the changing landscape with such lyrical precision that her prose sometimes seems close to poetry - Christina Patterson, The Sunday Times Timely . . . compelling . . . a delicately drawn miniature - Financial Times This book deepens our understanding of the life and thoughts of a modern doctor, and the modern NHS, and it expands movingly to chronicle a community and a landscape - Kathleen Jamie, New Statesman.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1942, a pianist from Manhattan convened the inaugural meeting of an extraordinary new fraternity, which promised to inoculate stage fright sufferers against the terrors that afflicted them. The venture, which coincided with the terrifying height of World War Two, was an astonishing success. They called it The Society of Timid Souls. Seventy years later, as anxiety levels reaches pandemic proportions, courage has become a virtue in crisis. We are all Timid Souls now. So Polly Morland reconvenes the Society for a new era, and sets out on a fact-finding mission. From the woman who performed her own caesarean section, to the surfer who took on a murderous sea, by way of freedom fighters, public speakers and emergency services workers, she seeks the truth about what courage today really means and how it comes about. From frontline to skyscraper, from mountain peak to suburban street, the journey takes in philosophy, literature, propaganda and popular culture, as Morland weaves together a modern anatomy of an age-old virtue, in order to discover how a Timid Soul may become a brave one. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Seller: Agapea Libros, Malaga, Spain
Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Ordenando la casa de su madre, Polly Morland encuentra un maltrecho ejemplar de bolsillo detrás de una estantería familiar. Al hojearlo, le sorprende descubrir una antigua fotografía del recóndito y boscoso valle en el que vive: lo reconoce, pasa por ese recodo cada día. El libro es «Un hombre afortunado», el relato clásico de John Berger sobre un médico rural que trabajaba en su comarca hace más de medio siglo. Este hallazgo casual lleva a Morland hasta la valiosa médica que cuida hoy de su comunidad, una mujer cuya vocación surgió en gran medida precisamente de la lectura de esa obra cuando era adolescente. En «Una mujer afortunada», pues, acompañamos a esta concienzuda doctora, cuya historia se entrevera con la de su predecesor de maneras insólitas. Ejerciendo su profesión dentro de una comunidad que ama, resulta una rareza en la medicina contemporánea: conoce a sus pacientes al dedillo, las vidas que pueblan ese lugar arcaico y salvaje, y que se entrelazan con la suya propia. Rastreando la narración de Berger tras más de medio siglo de cambios sísmicos, tanto en nuestra sociedad como en las formas en que se practica la medicina de familia, «Una mujer afortunada» arroja luz sobre lo que significa ser médico en el complejo y desafiante mundo de hoy. Entretejiendo la historia de la doctora con las de sus pacientes, reflexionando sobre la relación entre paisaje y comunidad, y sobre el papel más amplio de la medicina en la sociedad, surge un retrato único de una médica de familia del siglo XXI: cuidado y compasión; dedicación y resiliencia; adaptabilidad; aprendizaje continuo. . . Y, sobre todo, respeto y humildad, humanidad y esperanza. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
