Primera entrega de la apasionante historia de Rob J. Cole, que continúa con Chamán y La doctora Cole. El bestseller mundial de Noah Gordon que fue adaptado a la gran pantalla en una película protagonizada por Ben Kingsley, Tom Payne, Stellan Skarsgard, Olivier Martínez y Emma Rigby. Más de tres millones de ejemplares vendidos en España. Un joven aprendiz de médico con un don para sanar nunca visto recorrerá la Europa sombría y oscura del siglo XI hasta la fascinante Persia, para encontrarse con el mejor maestro imaginable: el mítico Avicena. Rob J. Cole, un joven londinense del siglo XI que pertenece a una familia de carpinteros, queda huérfano a los nueve años y con la responsabilidad de cuidar de sus cuatro hermanos menores, a quienes va encontrando hogar. Una vez solo coincide con Henry Croft, un cirujano barbero que deambula por Inglaterra montando espectáculos y dedicándose a ejercer de curandero para vender un ungüento milagroso y del que se convierte en aprendiz. Con Henry Croft comparte viaje, cartel y beneficios hasta que el maestro muere. Y es entonces cuando conoce a Benjamin Merlin, un médico judío que le alienta a superarse y hacer realidad su sueño, y que le habla del más eminente médico de la remota Persia: Ibn Sina o Avicena. Rob, llevado por su pasión por sanar y aliviar el dolor, llega a Oriente donde se hará pasar por judío y adoptará el nombre de Jesse Benjamin, para no destacar como europeo y poder hacer realidad su sueño: estudiar medicina en la madraza de Ispahán.
