Synopsis "Chaman (Narrativa Historicas (in Spanish)"

Segunda entrega de la saga de la familia Cole, en la que el legado familiar adquiere una importancia de proporciones épicas en la vida de dos médicos en la América del siglo XVIII. Escocés y vástago de una familia que ha practicado la medicina a lo largo de generaciones, el doctor Robert Judson Cole debe dejar su devastada tierra por razones políticas y emigar a las nuevas tierras de América, tras llegar a Boston y trabajar con el eminente cirujano Oliver Wendell Holmes, seguirá camino rumbo al oeste hasta la frontera de Illinois y de allí a las tierras castigadas por la guerra de Gettysburg, un territorio que los colonos todavía no han podido arrebatar a los indios sauk, y donde le esperan las experiencias más intensas de su vida profesional y sentimental. Esta segunda entrela de la trilogía de la familia Cole fue calificada de "Libro destacado" por The New York Times y declarada "Mejor novela histórica 1991-1992" por la Sociedad de Historiadores Americanos, que otorgó a Noah Gordon el primer premio James Fenimore Cooper.

Noah Gordon was born on November 11, 1926 in Worcester, Massachusetts (United States). He attended Boston University to study medicine, as his parents wished, but ultimately ended up studying journalism. In the early 1950s, he began working as an editor in New York at Avon Publishing. His first novel was The Rabbi (1965), an autobiographical text featuring Michael Kind that achieved considerable sales success. Later titles would include The Death Committee (1969), where the medical theme was an essential part of the plot, The Jerusalem Diamond (1979), and his consecration as a best-selling author, The Physician (1986), the first part of the well-known trilogy about the British-origin Cole family that would continue with Shaman (1992) and Dr. Cole (1996). His latest works have been The Last Jew (2000), with action taking place in 15th century Spain and featuring a character named Yonah Toledano, Sam and Other Animal Stories (2002), a book of stories dedicated to children, and The Winery (2007), a novel set in the world of winemaking.
