How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands?What is it like to cut into someone else's body? What is it like to stand by, powerless, while someone dies because of the incompetence of your seniors? How do you tell a beautiful young man who seems perfectly fit that he has only a few days left to live?Gabriel Weston worked as a surgeon on the NHS frontlines; a woman in a world dominated by male egos. Her world was one of disease, suffering and extraordinary pressure where moral ambiguity and clinical detachment were necessary for survival. Startling and honest, her account combines a fierce sense of human dignity with compassion and insight, illuminating scenes of life and death the rest of us rarely glimpse.'Her wisdom, empathy, morality and self-awareness are very revealing... Her writing is as incisive, precise and clean as keyhole surgery' The Times'Brave and uncomfortable' Guardian

A profound and provocative journey through the human body.‘Gripping…bold, humane’ Guardian‘Sings from the page’ Rachel ClarkeFor Gabriel Weston, there was always something missing from the anatomy she was taught at medical school. As she became a surgeon, a mother and then a patient herself, she grew increasingly fascinated by the gap between the body she understood as a doctor and the messy reality of living in one.Alive is a captivating investigation into our organs and the role they play in the stories of our lives. In Weston’s hands, a fuller and more human picture of our bodies emerges – more fragile, frightening and miraculous than we could ever have imagined.‘An exceptional, absorbing tour of human life and bodies’Chris van Tulleken‘Filled with fascinating facts’ Daily Telegraph‘A pitch-perfect book’ Christie Watson‘A book of wonder’ Sarah Moss

Brought to you by Penguin.A profound and provocative journey through the human body from the award-winning writer, broadcaster and surgeon.What does it mean to live in a body? What stories can our organs tell?For Gabriel Weston, there was always something missing from the anatomy she was taught at medical school. Medicine teaches us how a body functions, but it doesn''t help us navigate the reality of living in one. As she became a surgeon, a mother, and ultimately a patient herself, Weston found herself grappling with the gap between scientific knowledge and unfathomable complexity of human experience.In this captivating exploration of the body, Weston dissolves the boundaries that usually divide surgeon and patient, pushing beyond the limit of what science has to tell us about who we are. Focusing on our individual organs, not just under the intense spotlight of the operating theatre, but in the central role they play in the stories of our lives, a fuller and more human picture of our bodies emerges: more fragile, frightening and miraculous than we could have imagined.Intimate, penetrating and original, Alive is an anatomy like no other, about our bodies and bonds, the richness and brevity of existence, and the thread of mortality that connect us all.''A gripping and lyrical tour of the major organs...filled with fascinating facts...there is a lot of tenderness too.'' Telegraph''Weston...(is) such a powerful writer'' Evening Standard''Exceptional, beautiful and absolutely absorbing'' Chris van Tulleken, best selling author of ULTRA-PROCESSED PEOPLE©2025 Gabriel Weston (P)2025 Penguin Audio

Im OP geht es um Leben und Tod – und alles andere, was zum Menschsein gehört: Wie ist es, als Chirurgin für das Leben eines anderen Menschen verantwortlich zu sein? Wie fühlt es sich an, einen Körper aufzuschneiden? Wie sagt man einem gutaussehenden jungen Mann, dass er nur noch ein paar Tage zu leben hat?Gabriel Weston erzählt scharf beobachtete Episoden aus ihren ersten Berufsjahren als Chirurgin in einem Krankenhaus. Eine starke Frauenstimme und ein berührendes Buch über das Kranksein, die Schönheit und die Flüchtigkeit des Lebens.«Was für ein grandioses Buch. Gabriel Westons Sprache ist so verführerisch, ihre Weisheit so frisch und ungetrübt von Sentimentalität, und trotzdem spürt man hinter jedem wohlformulierten Satz ihre Empathie - und ihre funkelnde Aufrichtigkeit.» (Nicholas Shakespeare)

Lääketiede selostaa kuinka keho toimii, mutta ruumiinavauksiin perustuva anatomia sivuuttaa kehon elollisuuden. Kun Gabriel Westonista tuli ensin kirurgi, sitten äiti ja lopulta potilas, hän ymmärsi ammottavan kuilun ihmisyyden ja lääketieteen välissä. Kuinka kuvata elävää kehoa?Westonin poikkeuksellinen teos yhdistelee anatomiaa, lääketieteen historiaa ja kirjoittajan omaa potilaskertomusta. Weston tutkii ihmiskehoa elinten kautta, sekä leikkauspöydällä että osana elämäämme. Teksti on konkreettista ja väkevää: luut rusahtelevat ja veri roiskuu, mutta Westonin kirjoittamisessa on myös suurta herkkyyttä ja inhimillisyyttä. Hän ymmärtää elävän kehon kauneutta ja haurautta.Elossa on ainutlaatuisen kokonaisvaltainen käsitys ihmiskehosta ja anatomiasta.
