  Published

  Around Christmas of 1882, while peering through a microscope at starfish larvae in which he had
inserted tiny thorns, Russian zoologist Elie Metchnikoff had a brilliant insight: what if the mobile cells he saw
gathering around the thorns were nothing but a healing force in action? Metchnikoff’s daring theory of
immunity—that voracious cells he called phagocytes formed the first line of defense against invading
bacteria—would eventually earn the scientist a Nobel Prize, shared with his archrival, as well as the unofficial
m oniker “Father of Natural Immunity.” But first he had to win over skeptics, especially those who called
his theory “an oriental fairy tale.”
  
  Using previously inaccessible archival materials, author
Luba Vikhanski chronicles Metchnikoff’s remarkable life and discoveries in the first moder n biography of this
hero of medicine. Metchnikoff was a towering figure in the scientific community of the early twentieth century, a
tireless humanitarian who, while working at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, also strived to curb the spread of cholera,
syphilis, and other deadly diseases. In his later years, he startled the world with controversial theories on longevity,
launching a global craze for yogurt, and pioneered research into gut microbes and aging. Though Metchnikoff was largely
forgotten for nearly a hundred years, Vikhanski documents a remarkable revival of interest in his ideas on immunity and
on the gut flora in the science of the twenty-first century.

  Review
  
  "A
portrait that captures not only the man, but also the end-of-the-19th century dynamism that fostered revolutions in art,
politics, and science." —Kirkus Reviews
  
  “Elie Metchnikoff was one of the most remarkable
scientists of the turn of the twentieth century, . . . an immunologist ahead of his time, and also, in some ways, very
much behind it. In Luba Vikhanski he has finally found a biographer who brings his gripping story to life in sprightly,
engaged prose for the English-reading world.” —Michael D. Gordin, Rosengarten Professor of Modern and
Contemporary History, Princeton University
  
  “A sensitive, nuanced portrait . . . and at times reads
like a thriller.” —Siamon Gordon, Emeritus Professor of Cellular Pathology, University of Oxford, and a
Fellow of the Royal Society
  
  “[an] outstanding, enlightening and delightful biography.”
—The Jerusalem Post
  
  “This book deftly unspools and celebrates both the profession and the
personal life of a turn-of-the-century giant.” —Library Journal
  
  “The story of a
revolutionary era in medicine.” —The Washington Post
  
  “Vikhanski’s meticulous
account of this almost-forgotten scientist reminds us of just how important a role obsession and stubbornness play in
research.” —Booklist
