摘要

Opening virtually any popular publication will reveal advertisements, and quite likely an article or two, offering instructions for the prolonging of youthful-ness, or perhaps of life itself. If typical, these instructions will range from the mundane ("Eat garlic!") to the bizarre ("Inject botulism into your face!"), but they will reveal the same underlying truth: humans today, like their early modern forebears, have tremendous difficulty accepting their mortality. In Mortal Coil, David Boyd Haycock traces man's search for ways to prolong human life and preserve immortal flesh through Western science and medicine from the early modern period through to the present. While there is a very brief summary of classical and medieval theories, the book really starts with the world of Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626), and then tracks a wandering path through the lives and writings of a series of men who sought to cheat death. Haycock begins each chapter with a vivid anecdote in which the reader is placed directly into the life experience of a particularly representative author.
