The definitive biography of Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the founder of homoeopathy, a system of healing which revolutionized medicine and now in the 21st century is receiving more support than at any time in the last century. It is a story of one man’s fight against the cruelty, inhumanity and quackery of the medical practice of his day, and his pioneering efforts in the face of persecution, prejudice and bigotry to introduce a safe, compassionate and effective alternative therapy. Set against a backcloth of the tumultuous political and social events of Samuel Hahnemann’s time, it vividly traces the development of homoeopathy and his family’s struggle for survival in the face of war, poverty, pestilence and persecution.
