Noah Gordon

Noah Gordon is known (and popular) among Croatian readers for his translations of the novels "Healer from Zaragoza" and "Shaman". This novel was written in 1986 and is the first part of the "doctor trilogy" which follows the members of the family of docto

Nine-year-old Robert Jeremy Cole will be able, when he grows up, to say that he was lucky in the accident. When his parents died in 1021, and his brothers and sister were distributed to other families and guardians, he managed to avoid the fate of being sold into slavery and went out into the world. Henry Croft was a man who dealt with the treatment of the poorest and who tried to survive by petty scams. When he welcomes Rob into his company, he will start teaching him the most primitive medical methods of the time and thus get him interested in treating patients.

The slave, encountering many patients that he will not be able to cure, will decide that he will become a real, trained doctor, and the fact that the school is located on the other side of the world - in Persia - will not discourage him in his decision. The path he will take will lead him into uncertainty, into another culture and religion, but also into love, which will always faithfully wait for him.

The extensive historical novel "The Healer" is the first part of the so-called of the medical trilogy that follows the members of the Cole family who, each in their own time, face the doubts brought by the medicine of that era. The slave in "The Healer" tries to abandon the primitive treatment methods dominant in the Middle Ages and learn scientifically confirmed medicine, which will be greatly helped by the so-called sixth sense, an unusual gift that allows him to sense the death of his patients.
