Riassunto

My Uncle Benjamin is a novel written by Claude Tillier in 1890. It is a humorous, satirical, and philosophical work that tells the story of the protagonist, Benjamin, a country doctor who is known for his unconventional ways of treating patients. The novel is set in rural France in the 18th century and is narrated by a young man who is a friend of Benjamin. The story begins with Benjamin's arrival in the town of Burgundy, where he sets up his medical practice. Benjamin is portrayed as a witty and eccentric character who has a unique approach to medicine. He believes that laughter and happiness are the best medicine and often prescribes his patients with things like dancing, singing, and drinking wine. The novel is filled with humorous anecdotes and satirical observations about the society of the time. Benjamin's unconventional methods often put him at odds with the local authorities and the traditional medical establishment. However, his popularity among the villagers continues to grow, and he becomes a beloved figure in the community. As the story progresses, the novel takes on a more philosophical tone. Benjamin's views on life, love, and death are explored in depth, and the reader is left with a profound sense of the importance of living life to the fullest. Overall, My Uncle Benjamin is a delightful and entertaining novel that combines humor, satire, and philosophy in a unique and engaging way. It is a timeless work that continues to be enjoyed by readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
