Synopsis of The Surgeon of Crowthorne
Esta fascinante obra narra la increíble historia real de la creación del Diccionario de Inglés de Oxford, una tarea monumental que duró cincuenta años. El relato se centra en la extraña relación entre el profesor James Murray y uno de sus colaboradores más prolíficos, el Dr. W. C. Minor, quien envió más de diez mil entradas desde su celda en un asilo para criminales dementes. Simon Winchester explora con detalle el genio y la locura de Minor, un cirujano millonario de la Guerra Civil estadounidense encarcelado por asesinato en Broadmoor. Es una crónica conmovedora sobre la redención a través del lenguaje y una de las historias más extrañas y cautivadoras de la literatura universal.
