Synopsis "El Metge (in Catalan)"

Rob J. Cole, un jove londinenc del segle XI que pertany a una família de fusters, queda orfe als nou anys i amb la responsabilitat de tenir cura dels seus quatre germans petits, als quals va trobant famílies adoptives. Un cop sol, coincideix amb Henry Croft, un cirurgià baber qie recorre Anglaterra muntant espectacles i dedicant-se a fer de curandero per vendre un ungüent miraculós, i se'n converteix en aprenent. Amb Henry Croft comparteix viatge, cartell i beneficis fins que el mestre mor. I és llavors quan coneix Benjamin Merlin, un metge jueu que l'encoratja a superar-se i fer realitat el seu somni, i que li parlarà del metge més eminent de la remota Pèrsia: Ibn Sina o Avicenna. Rob, endut per la seva passió per guarir i alleujar el dolor, arriba a Orient on es farà passar per jueu i adoptarà el nom de Jesse ben Benjamin, per tal de no destacar com a europeu i poder fer realitat el seu somni: estudiar medicina a la madrassa d'Isfahan.

Noah Gordon was born on November 11, 1926 in Worcester, Massachusetts (United States). He attended Boston University to study medicine, as his parents wished, but ultimately ended up studying journalism. In the early 1950s, he began working as an editor in New York at Avon Publishing. His first novel was The Rabbi (1965), an autobiographical text featuring Michael Kind that achieved considerable sales success. Later titles would include The Death Committee (1969), where the medical theme was an essential part of the plot, The Jerusalem Diamond (1979), and his consecration as a best-selling author, The Physician (1986), the first part of the well-known trilogy about the British-origin Cole family that would continue with Shaman (1992) and Dr. Cole (1996). His latest works have been The Last Jew (2000), with action taking place in 15th century Spain and featuring a character named Yonah Toledano, Sam and Other Animal Stories (2002), a book of stories dedicated to children, and The Winery (2007), a novel set in the world of winemaking.
