This novel takes place in the Mid Nineteenth Century at a time when giant leaps were being made in many Science and Occupational fields.
Vienna was the pivotal point of great changes for Science specifically in the area of Medicine.
Therapeutics became a prime goal of Medical Science other than the Philosophical aspect of describing the course, and eventuality of a given disease. The nucleus of the Pharmaceutical and Chemical industry was seeded at this time.
In addition to the Medical Science aspects of this novel, you will also be entertained with many interesting characters and an abundance of events; some tragic, some exciting, some romantic (even sexual), and the amazing love of family and tradition. You will travel with these characters through their lives and generations as they grow businesses, raise children, become involved in medicine and even become rich and famous.
