Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the events that unfold when a man believed to be mute arrives unexpectedly in Dover. His alleged lack of speech draws interest from a local veterinary surgeon, who is convinced that his theories on the nature of vocal impairment can be proven through a series of increasingly extreme experiments on the mute man. The surgeon is determined to cure the man, but his methods become more aggressive and outlandish as he fails to elicit a response. The author delves into themes of human nature, the power of language, and morality. Ultimately, the boundaries of sanity and the ethics of scientific experimentation are pushed to their limits, resulting in a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human communication.
