Metamorphoses. The journal’s journey through the most beautiful and terrible changes in the human body. Francis G.

Miracles often occur with the human body. Any deviation from the accepted norm does not go unnoticed. Among us there are dwarfs, giants and lunatics. Someone is subject to hallucinations, someone cannot eat at all, many are yearning for a lack of sun. These metamorphoses always gave rise to fables and myths, until science seriously took up their study. Gavin Francis explores the most tenacious myths and explains their nature. He turns to changes in the body of his patients, both long -awaited and undesirable and explains why these metamorphoses are not random and important for all of humanity. The author reinforces all his thoughts with cases from practice and stories from the history of medicine, art, literature, myths.
