Aprašymas

Set in late nineteenth-century Europe and the Dutch East Indies, this lyrical, surreal verse narrative follows Jonas Pekelharing, a brilliant physiologist whose rise in the world of modern medicine is shadowed by repression, ambition, and empire.

As Jonas navigates scientific acclaim and the strictures of respectability, his heart quite literally escapes to the circus, refusing to remain buried beneath duty and decorum. Microscopes brood, father-watches chime, ideas wrestle, and desire insists on its own reality in a world structured by authority and hierarchy. Blending historical research with allegory and wit, the book traces the quiet violence of power alongside the abiding nature of hope, asking what it costs to become brilliant--and what it takes to become whole.
