In the final four pages of Giovanni’s Room David likens himself and his situation to that of Giovanni’s‚ by attempting to separate his mind from his flesh.

Giovanni is “Eve”‚ Beatrice is “Adam”‚ Rappaccini is “God” and Baglioni is Satan.

and differences in style‚ content and structure. I hope to gain a better understanding of these two authors’ approach to Chinese medicine and their methods of transferring knowledge yin/yang and the five elements through their texts.
