What kind of book is this?

Hey all,

I’m not sure what this book is saying as I don’t speak German but it sure has a lot of unsavoury pictures. Anyone know what it’s about?

 

It is a book on surgery - "Practicum in Surgery: A guide for doctors, surgical assistants, and medical interns". The writing in the back (in English) explains that it was found on a German medical officer's dressing station, so a book on surgery makes sense.

Thanks 2manybooks,

I got another German book but unsure what it is?

 

Any idea what the hand written part says?

 

I think this second book is in Swedish. You can try using Google Translate to figure out what it says.

Thanks again it is Swedish but hard to translate.

 

I think the Swedish book translates to “When the night brightens up”

 

the foreword of the first one stresses that it was intended to help with the experiences Nordmann himself made in the military hospital with war surgery in Tapiau in East Prussia - logically at the beginning of the Great War - and intended to help the colleagues that were new on the job and also students that still had no approbation yet.

 

Thanks fid appreciate it, now only if we had some Swedish speakers.

 

We have a volunteer translator thread posted in the Support and Testing forum in the top section of this site. I did a search and found two people who volunteered back in 2018 to translate Swedish. One of those two has not been back here for a couple of years. The other still logs in and was here last month. So I will tag @The swede and hope to get a response!

 

Haha I think this forum has it all...a volunteer translator thread!! I’m amazed! Thank you!

 

Yes! Here is a link to the thread.

I did a search for Swedish and clicked the box to limit only to that thread.

 

Look them up in bookfinder. These medical books with pictures are quite marketable at least I have had good luck selling them.

 

Thanks Lark I’ll check it out!
