The Memoirs Of A Physician by Alexandre Dumas

A physician recounts his strange and often dangerous involvement in the high-stakes intrigues of 18th-century France, combining medical case histories with encounters with notorious impostors, occultists, and members of the royal court; as he unravels mysteries, exposes corruption and deception, and confronts superstition and power, his narrative paints a vivid picture of social decay and the personal costs of truth in a world on the brink of upheaval.
