More about the book

Set in Amsterdam in 1632, the narrative revolves around a pivotal medical dissection led by Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, captured by the young artist Rembrandt. As anticipation builds, the lives of several characters intertwine, including Aris the condemned thief, his pregnant lover Flora, and Jan Fetchet, a dealer of corpses. The presence of philosopher René Descartes adds depth as he seeks answers about the human soul. The story explores themes of mortality, the human condition, and the moral complexities of science and art.
