Book Overview

""Dives and Lazarus: Or The Adventures of an Obscure Medical Man in a Low Neighborhood"" is a book written by William Gilbert and published in 1858. The book tells the story of a medical practitioner who works in a poor neighborhood and his experiences with his patients, who are often impoverished and struggling with various illnesses. The title ""Dives and Lazarus"" refers to the biblical parable of the rich man (Dives) and the poor man (Lazarus), and the book explores themes of poverty, social inequality, and the challenges faced by those living in low-income areas. Through the eyes of the medical man, the reader is given a glimpse into the lives of the people he treats, and the struggles they face on a daily basis. The book is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of social issues that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
