    Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

    What if the oldest enemy wasn’t a beast—but a part of you? In this Pulitzer-winning epic, Siddhartha Mukherjee chronicles humanity’s millennia-long duel with cancer—a shape-shifting monarch that has ruled through fear, survived countless wars, and whispered promises of immortality. From ancient surgeries to cutting-edge breakthroughs, the battle rages with equal parts genius and desperation. But as we edge closer to victory, a haunting question remains: Will we ever truly conquer a foe that evolves… from our own cells?
