The Emperor of All Maladies
A Biography of CancerPraise for The Emperor of All Maladies: ‘A riveting book … Profound, eloquent and searching’ Sunday Times ‘Masterly … at the same time an encyclopedic history of scientific progress against history and a ripping yarn’ Guardian ‘Siddhartha Mukherjee, a n oncologist, has a storyteller’s flair for placing the reader in whichever lab, ward or cellular process he describes, having us feel every clinical breakthrough and failure – and the terror of unchecked cell growth’ Observer, '25 Best Books of the Century So Far' ‘The book that many will have been waiting for. This elegantly written overview allows us to look a once whispered-about illness squarely in the eye’ Independent ‘So beautifully written; this is literature, not popular science’ Evening Standard ‘Powerful and ambitious … One of the most extraordinary stories in medicine’ New York Times Book Review ‘What a story – full of quixotic characters, therapeutic triumphs and setbacks, and recent historical events – with all the hubris and pathos of Greek tragedy’ Washington Post ‘It’s hard to think of many books for a general audience that have rendered any area of modern science and technology with such intelligence, accessibility, and compassion’ New Yorker ‘Mukherjee brings an impressive balance of empathy and dispassion to this instantly essential piece of medical journalism’ Time ‘Now and then a writer comes along who helps us fathom both the intricacies of a scientific specialty and its human meaning. Lewis Thomas, Sherwin Nuland, and Oliver Sacks come to mind. Add to their company Siddhartha Mukherjee’ Elle ‘Rich and engrossing … With the perceptiveness and patience of a true scientist, [Mukherjee] begins to weave these individual threads into a coherent and engrossing narrative’ Economist ‘A meticulously researched, panoramic history … [Mukherjee] imbues decades of painstaking laboratory investigation with the suspense of a mystery novel and urgency of a thriller’ Boston Globe

Il canto della cellula. Un'esplorazione della medicina e dell'uomo nuovo
Nella seconda metà del Seicento, un solitario mercante di stoffe olandese, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, e un poliedrico quanto eterodosso scienziato inglese, Robert Hooke, scoprirono che gli organismi viventi complessi sono aggregati di minuscole unità biologiche indipendenti e autoregolate. Un concetto radicale che modificò per sempre biologia e medicina. Il canto della cellula è la storia di questa scoperta. Ma non solo. È un racconto scientifico ed epico al tempo stesso che arriva fino ai giorni nostri. Mukherjee descrive l'anatomia, la fisiologia, il comportamento delle cellule, le loro interazioni, e spiega cosa succede quando l'alterazione di questi 'mattoni della vita' dà luogo a malattie gravi e potenzialmente letali. La nostra comprensione delle patologie cellulari ha inaugurato l'era della manipolazione terapeutica delle cellule, che ha reso possibili gli antibiotici e le trasfusioni di sangue, la fecondazione in vitro e i trapianti di midollo osseo, l'immunoterapia nella lotta contro il cancro e l'infusione di cellule staminali modificate nella cura del diabete. Ma oggi il futuro appare pieno di incognite: grazie alla selezione e all'editing genetici, la creazione di 'nuovi esseri umani' è tutt'altro che una remota possibilità, e il confine tra naturale e artificiale si fa sempre più incerto. Con rigore scientifico, un'empatia rara e una straordinaria capacità divulgativa, Mukherjee consegna al lettore un'erudita incursione nella storia della medicina e al contempo uno sguardo illuminante sul prossimo futuro.
