    SAMPLE EXCERPT:


    “What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”


    As one would be able to understand, Siddhartha Mukherjee was inspired and intrigued by his disease at such a degree that he decided to write the history of it. Mukherjee is an oncologist by training with an M.D. and a PhD and his long years of training and researching have brought him quite close with the disease and people who suffer from it. ee spends his days struggling to deal with, understand and identify new potential treatments towards that disease. The idea for the book came to him when one of his patients was eager to know what the situation with cancer was and how medicine and science stood against it how they coped with it, the possible treatments and future strategies to deal with the disease. Sadly, the patient who had asked these questions passed away but these questions which occupy many people’s minds were left unanswered. That was the time when Siddhartha Mukherjee set his mind on creating a book on the complete history of cancer from the very beginning up to his days. It would be a book phrased in simple and easy-to-understand meanings, shedding off any jargon and doing away with clichés or taboos. It would be a book about helping people understand this defining disease...

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Don't miss out! It's highly recommended.

    if you're a real literature junkie or a diehard fan of the novel (I am both) it's really a must read. Highly recommended.

      The Emperor of All Maladies - Behind the Story (A Book Compa - Behind the Story™ Books

      Story

      Foreword

      A personal note from the editor…

      What if…? was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.

      When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I'm laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.

      One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.

      This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.

      So without further ado, I present to you…
