{"product_id":"berger-a-fortunate-man","title":"Berger: A Fortunate Man","description":"In 1966 John Berger spent three months in the Forest of Dean shadowing an English country GP, John Sassall. Sassall is a fortunate man - his work occupies and fulfils him, he lives amongst the patients he treats, the line between his life and his work is happily blurred.\n\nIn A Fortunate Man, Berger's text and the photography of Jean Mohr reveal with extraordinary intensity the life of a remarkable man. It is a portrait of one selfless individual and the rural community for which he became the hub. Drawing on psychology, biography and medicine A Fortunate Man is a portrait of sacrifice. It is also a profound exploration of what it means to be a doctor, to serve a community and to heal.\n\nWith a new introduction by writer and GP, Gavin Francis.","brand":"Canongate Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"New - Paperback","offer_id":32689596956757,"sku":"9781782115038N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781782115038.jpg?v=1598954308","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/berger-a-fortunate-man","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
