The Miracle Cures of Dr. Aira

The Miracle Cures of Dr. Aira

Aira's latest concerns a reluctant but powerful doctor who finally decides to use his healing powers to help a hopeless patient.

CÃ©sar Airaâ€™s newest novel in English is not about a conventional doctor. Single,in his forties, and poor, Dr. Aira is a skeptic. His personality â€” his weaknesses,whims, and pet peeves â€” is summed up in a series of digressions and regressions but he has a very special gift for miracles. He no longer cares about miracles,however, and has no faith in them. Perhaps he is even a little ashamed about his supernatural powers. Such is Dr. Aira, who also has to confront his arch-enemyâ€” chief of the Pinero Hospital, Dr. Actyn â€” who is constantly trying to prove that Dr. Aira is a charlatan. Poor Dr. Aira is indeed a worker of miracles, but CÃ©sar Aira â€” the magesterial author â€” sends the very human doctor stumbling toward the biggest trap of all, in this magical book.
