This book revives the story of the Spanish doctor
Gaspar Fisac Orovio (1859–1937, Daimiel, Ciudad Real), encompassing not only
his personal journey and the rural milieu of his time but also his research,
contributions to medicine, and passion for journalism, poetry, and theater.
Alongside him stands the brief, intense, and tragic life of his brother
Deogracias, a pharmacist, politician, and journalist who founded the newspaper
El Eco de Daimiel (1885–1890), which Gaspar took over after Deogracias’s death.
Across five comprehensive chapters—“The Man,” “The
Brother,” “The Doctor,” “The Journalist,” and “The Poet”—readers will be
astonished by the medical practices of that era and the pioneering initiatives
of these two brothers.
A well-documented exploration of Medicine, Pharmacy,
and rural society in the 19th century.
