Vladimir Karaev’s novel “Private Doctor” is about the most difficult things for each of us: about Life and Death, about truth and lies, about betrayal and love. The author is a doctor, his many years of practice have taught him compassion and understanding of what pain is. His personal experience—finding a second homeland (he immigrated to Israel and mastered his specialty “from scratch”) and a second profession (he writes poetry and prose)—gives him a unique opportunity to share his thoughts and feelings with the reader. And he has plenty of talent! With this novel we are starting a new series - “The Writer-Doctor.”
