The most unfamous man

The book of David Markish is incredibly interesting and fascinating. Sometimes you even feel like you read a Hollywood tale about the incredible transformation of Cinderella masculine. Indeed, it could, if only it were not real and absolute truth.

The author calls his book a free fantasy in the subtitle, as if he preliminary defends himself from annoying historians and depressing incompetent literary critics and bookworms.

But don’t be fooled by the definition — for him fantasy is not fiction, but the right to a romantic review of the amazing fate of his hero.

Nineteenth century — young Odessa citizen Volodya was fascinated by the trendy idea of that time — ​​individual terror. And he, a bacteriologist and epidemiologist Khaffkine, deeply disappointed in such activities, in the twentieth century becomes one of the saviors of mankind, by inventing a vaccine against cholera and plague. The writer knows and feels his hero as a close person, who alone entrusted the secrets of his soul.

The novel is full of surprises. Just read this book. You will not regret. You will not be able to stop reading it, just like me.

Good things never last. I tried so much to read this book as long as possible, but turned the last page of the Mahatma! To be true, I wanted to read the book as quickly as possible.

David Markish succeeded in what only great masters succeed: turned, it would seem, a boring story about a scientific work into an adventure novel.

In «Mahatma» book there was a place for philosophical discussions about the meaning of life, and for historical excursions, and for the history of unhappy love. A revolutionary, who became a saint in India, the savior of millions of people, who tested the effect of vaccines on himself — there is something to read about!

But first of all, this is a novel about a troubled soul that wanted to change the world for the better, first with the help of a revolutionary struggle, then with the war against the cholera and plague pandemics, that found peace only after finding God in its heart.

A very interesting project of historical, scientific and spiritual research we can observe. I recommend to follow and absorb this interesting information! Good luck to the website creators, real devotees of their business!

This book is a discovery for me! I will share it with my family and friends. I would recommend to include this information in school and medical textbooks!

A brilliantly written story, 100 years have passed since it happened, but you read it as if it is written about your contemporary. The same feelings and experience, problems with the authorities, same goals. But the actions of a goal-oriented person is extremely emotional experience. Experience of another person and the result important for the whole world.
