Before you is a unique edition - the best medical novel of the 20th century, written long before the emergence of interest in medical series and books. This is a real diary of a surgeon, in which everything is true - from the first to the last word. The story begins with the besieged Leningrad, where Fedor Uglov began working in the hospital.

An exciting description of operations, complex cases, mysterious diagnoses - all this is presented as a thriller with detective elements. It is impossible to break away from the stories from the practice of the famous surgeon. Twisted plot, skill in building a plot, climax and denouement - this is really a classic, next to which many more modern bestsellers in this genre are a pitiful helpless parody. The book "The Surgeon's Heart" has been translated into many languages of the world.
