Book Synopsis Celebrity Surgeon by : Chris Logan

Download or read book Celebrity Surgeon written by Chris Logan and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Chris Barnard caused a world sensation in December 1967 by performing the first human heart transplant, transforming him overnight from an unknown surgeon into a household name. Although he wrote a number of books about himself, and his first wife, Louwtjie, wrote a book in reply to one of them, there has never been a full scale, objective biography of the man named by Time Magazine as one of only two South Africans on a list of people who had changed the world - the other being Nelson Mandela. The author covers Barnard's boyhood in Beaufort West, his medical training, his marriage to Louwtjie and his first fulltime job, to his becoming a surgeon, and finally succeeding in a human transplant. He discusses how Barnard became transformed into a social butterfly, wearing Italian suits and having affairs with celebrities such as Gina Lollobrigida and Francoise Hardy, resulting in his divorce from Louwtjie. He then fell in love with and married a 19-year-old model, Barbara Zoellner. We see how he collaborated with Eschel Rhoodie's Department of Information; a period about which Logan has uncovered previously unpublished details.
