Summary:

While the book was written in 1935, it does not seem out of place even today. Though it is considered to be a base text for future medical practitioners given its detailed writing on vascular structures that laid the foundation for organ transplants, it is an interesting perspective on how we deal with our bodies and minds and wellness in general. Carrel advocates our rejuvenation and his haunting words stay with the reader long after one has turned the last page of the book — “to progress again, man must remake himself. And he cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the marble and the sculptor. In order to uncover his true visage, he must shatter his own substance with heavy blows of his hammer.”
