 WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE * A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 100 BOOK OF THE CENTURY * A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR * A TIME ALL-TIME 100 NONFICTION BOOK

Updated with FOUR NEW MAJOR CHAPTERS illuminating the new developments in cancer detection, prevention, treatment, and understanding in the fifteen years since the book’s first publication, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer.

Siddhartha Mukherjee’s The Emperor of All Maladies became an instant classic when it was published in 2010. A magnificent, humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic 20th century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence—The Emperor of All Maladies is one of the most highly acclaimed books of its time.

In the years since Mukherjee dazzled readers with The Emperor of All Maladies, much has changed in the universe of cancer—in our understanding of its causes; in our attempts to prevent it; and in the revolutionary new treatments. In four profound and revelatory new chapters—essentially a new book about cancer—he illuminates this disease with both a bird’s eye view of the landscape and an acute focus on the role of the cell. He also looks at imminent new studies—and to the future.

Riveting, audacious, and now more urgent than ever in this vast update, The Emperor of All Maladies is a masterpiece. Cancer Monde Médecine et secteur de la santé Sciences sociales Troubles et maladies Médecine Maladie génétique Soins de santé Santé Toxicomanie Tabac Guerre

Sprawling in scope, yet somehow anchored to the personal, The Emperor of All Maladies is Dr. Mukherjee’s magnum opus. Taking on the history of cancer could have been dull and dreary task. Instead, it is a very accessible and inspiring read, clarifying key ideas and concepts without making the reader feel intellectually inferior. The book seems to mimic Mukerjee’s own journey with his patients—and of their own as well—at times hopeful, and at others more sullen. I could not put this book down—nor, I suspect, will you.

An absolute must read!

I had a hard time finishing this one, even though it was captivating and interesting all the way through. I took a break after Mukherjee described the horrors of radical mastectomies; his telling actually affected me like a gory horror movie would, even though his words were carefully chosen to be as compassionate to the patients/victims as possible. I then had to take another break when two family members near to me passed of cancer and cancer-related disease within two weeks of each other. Although his narrative was generally hopeful (everyone must die, but we needn't die of this disease), it was too much to be faced with its realities both in my personal and literary life.

In the end, I did finish and I am very glad to have read it. Here's hoping that, in the inevitable eventuality that I am myself a cancer patient, that I am able to face my struggle with the dignity Mukherjee's patients are portrayed as having. Here's to science! Here's to doctors! And above all, here's to the patients, victims and survivors!

A tough one to get through, but super worthy.

This simply one of the best books I’ve ever read. I not only have it on Audible, but I have purchased 3 hard copies for my friends. The book is simply too good not to share. His treatment (no pun intended) of the history of cancer is spellbinding.
A must read.

This book is a comprehensive review of the history of cancer. It is well written, detailed, packed full of knowledge, and enjoyable to listen to. Mukherjee is a talented writer who does not fail to educate and entertain. The knowledge he shares is never irrelevant - it is always high yield and relevant to understanding the nature of cancer and the challenges scientists have faced in battling this disease.

Masterpiece

A wealth of information about cancer with historical references and engaging narrative. Great book, although I feel it could have been shorter without losing the core messages.

Informative
