From dust jacket: “I am going to learn about medicine,” Ali said as he left his Azerbaijan home. He had not always felt this way. He used to distrust Dr. Nicolayev, who was only an Uruss and a Christian. Ali was sure that Allah would not give this man knowledge and power denied a good Mohammedan; and besides, how could Christian potions cure one of the faithful? But now that his parents had died, when the Uruss doctor could have saved them, he himself wanted to be a doctor. How Ali tried to reach his goal, and what happened to him, is told in this exciting story, full of life and action. At the same time, the book presents a vivid picture of the varied races and religions, the tension and unrest, the poverty and struggle that characterize the Caucasus...Included is a glossary of the foreign words used, together with their proper pronunciation.
