«Der geplagte Mann» is the medical history essay by Jürgen Thorwald, published by Droemer Knaur in hardback (352 pages, in German).
The book traces the history of the prostate through famous cases: it follows the romantic lives of Chaplin, Picasso and H. G. Wells and links them to the prostate problems of Reagan or De Gaulle. It also recounts the evolution of urological surgery and the instruments used to treat it, without avoiding male taboos.
Subtitled «Die Prostata - Geschichte und Geschichten», it was originally published in 1994 in Munich and is classified under History.
Suitable for readers interested in the history of medicine, the development of urological surgery and historical popularisation.
