Truth, like the human body, is rarely revealed on the surface. Society prefers the unbroken skin: the smoothness of a good reputation, the flawless silhouette of duty fulfilled, the beauty of an unquestioned convention. The form is admired, but the function is feared.
But beneath that covering lies a universe of exquisite complexity, a text written in the invisible ink of life itself. It is a language not read with the eyes, but dissected.

Produktbeschreibung
Truth, like the human body, is rarely revealed on the surface. Society prefers the unbroken skin: the smoothness of a good reputation, the flawless silhouette of duty fulfilled, the beauty of an unquestioned convention. The form is admired, but the function is feared.

But beneath that covering lies a universe of exquisite complexity, a text written in the invisible ink of life itself. It is a language not read with the eyes, but dissected. To understand it, two instruments are required: the cold edge of the scalpel, which separates flesh to expose structure ; and the fine tip of the pen, which translates that structure into enduring knowledge. One seeks truth in what can be named and classified ; the other, in the weight, tension, and space that truth occupies.

This is the story of an era and a city-London in the eighteen-hundreds-that was expert at concealing its own anatomy beneath layers of fog, brick, and morality. And it is the story of two people who dared to make the most dangerous cut of all -not into the lifeless flesh of an anatomical theater, but into the living tissue of their world. They discovered that the body of a secret is far harder to dissect than that of a man, and that the heart-that organ they insisted on reducing to a mere pump-is the only one capable of surviving its own autopsy.
