Riassunto

Few books dare to tell the entire story of life, from stardust to consciousness, from the first cell to the frontiers of synthetic biology. Fewer still manage to make that story pulse with wonder, coherence, and moral depth. Igor Rudan’s Evil Air: A Story of Medicine achieves all this with the insight of a scientist-philosopher and the narrative elegance of a born storyteller. At once a precise history of all 116 Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine, a collection of astonishing human stories behind each awarded discovery, a meditation on health and disease, and an ode to human curiosity, Evil Air unfolds like a grand symphony of discovery.

Each chapter builds upon the last: atoms become cells, cells awake into minds, and minds turn their gaze upon human suffering, disease, and the stubborn mystery of existence itself. What begins as a reflection on being alive and aware expands into a sweeping narrative that spans centuries of inquiry, culminating in a vision of medicine not merely as a profession, but as humanity’s deeper purpose and enduring hope. A book for physicians, scientists, dreamers, and everyone in between, Evil Air reveals that the story of medicine is, ultimately, the story of life itself — improbable, fragile, and still unfinished.
