《众病之王》是一部杰作，引人入胜、大胆创新，如今经过大幅更新，更显其紧迫性。

癌症的故事，也是人类的故事——一个关于偶然发现、把握机遇和人类坚韧不拔的故事。从早期创新的外科手术，到居里夫妇以悲剧收场的放射治疗研究；从西德尼·法伯（Sidney Farber）冒着巨大风险发现化疗，到作者本人治疗病人的经历，《众病之王》深刻而富有启发性地描绘了一种神秘疾病，人类与之共存并因此丧命已超过五千年。

在西达尔塔·穆克吉（Siddhartha Mukherjee）这部经典之作的更新版中，新增的四个章节揭示了自本书初版以来癌症领域发生的巨变。他以动人的文笔，深入剖析了我们对癌症病因的不断深入的理解，以及可能塑造癌症未来的革命性新疗法，其中也包括穆克吉本人参与研发的疗法。

“这本文笔优美的概述让我们得以直面这种曾经鲜为人知的疾病。”——《独立报》

“‘科普’一词远不足以形容这部作品的成就。它堪称文学佳作。”——《观察家报》

Summary

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

WINNER OF THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD 2011

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2011

‘Profound, eloquent and searching’ SUNDAY TIMES

‘Essential reading’ INDEPENDENT

‘Masterly’ GUARDIAN

‘Extraordinary’ NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Riveting, audacious and now more urgent than ever in this vast update, The Emperor of All Maladies is a masterpiece.

The story of cancer is a human one – a tale of chance discoveries, seized opportunities and human endurance. From innovative early surgeries to the Curies’ ultimately tragic work with radiation; from Sidney Farber’s hugely risky discovery of chemotherapy to the author’s treatment of his own patients, The Emperor of All Maladies is a profound and revelatory portrait of an enigmatic disease humans have lived with, and perished from, for more than five thousand years.

In this updated edition of Siddhartha Mukherjee’s instant classic, four new chapters reveal what has changed in the universe of cancer in the years since the book was first published. With moving eloquence, he offers an insight into our evolving understanding of cancer’s causes and the emerging, revolutionary new treatments that might shape its future, including those that Mukherjee himself has helped devise.

‘This elegantly written overview allows us to look a once whispered-about illness squarely in the eye’ INDEPENDENT

‘The notion of “popular science” doesn’t come close to describing this achievement. It is literature’ OBSERVER
