Dolor De Uno, Dolor De Todos

Sinopsis del libro

En este libro, el reconocido médico Arnoldo Kraus desmenuza el dolor en sus diversas manifestaciones y explica cómo desde su óptica se puede redefinir la existencia y afrontar la muerte. Arnoldo Kraus nos entrega un ensayo luminoso cuyo hilo conductor es el dolor y el aprendizaje vital que deriva de sus múltiples experiencias.

The fact that pain might be, from a philosophical point of view, inexpressible or beyond words, says the author, doesn’t mean that words don’t play a decisive part in alleviating it.
