What is A Fortunate Man : The Story of a Country Doctor about?
Booker Prize-winner Berger's exploration of what it means to heal, republished nearly 50 years on In 1966, John Berger spent three months in the Forest of Dead shadowing an English country GP, John Sassall. Sassall is a fortunate man—his work occupies and fulfills him, he lives among the patients he treats, and the line between his life and his work is happily blurred. In this book, Berger's text and the photography of Jean Mohr reveal with extraordinary intensity the life of a remarkable man. It is a portrait of one selfless individual and the rural community for which he became the hub. Drawing on psychology, biography, and medicine, this is a portrait of sacrifice. It is also a profound exploration of what it means to be a doctor, to serve a community, and to heal.
