A TRUTH BURIED IN FLAMES. AN ENIGMA THAT SPANS THE CENTURIES. In the 16th century, Miguel Servet, a visionary physician and theologian, described a function of the heart that science would take four hundred years to rediscover: ventricular diastolic suction. But his revelation remained hidden in a banned book, a work that cost him his life. Condemned for heresy, he was burned at the stake in Calvin's Geneva along with his writings. Although some copies were saved, his findings were ignored for centuries. Until someone finds them and begins to ask questions. In 1975, John Farrell, a young English cardiologist, son of a woman from Madrid, unexpectedly stumbled upon that forgotten description by the humanist physician. How could Servet have discovered something so complex in his time? Intrigued, Farrell traveled to Madrid in 1976 to write his doctoral thesis with Professor Laín Entralgo. In the midst of the Transition, he befriends historian Maurice Gamell and Manuel Blay, also a cardiologist. For a year and a half, while Spain attempts to consolidate a parliamentary monarchy, the three friends become embroiled in a web of passions, secrets, and revelations. The narrative spans the Protestant Reformation, the Spanish Civil War, the European conflict, and the turbulent years of the Transition. A story that reveals buried mysteries and captivates from the first page. The Enigma That Sprang From the Fire is a historical thriller that masterfully blends real events, post-Franco customs, intrigue, and scientific discoveries.
