In this issue the reader will learn why the real Baron von Munchausen never rode to the moon on a cannonball; why his name is linked to a psychiatric disorder; and why a benevolent physician invented the guillotine. He may read about the sweating sickness, Nobel Prize winners, Boccaccio and Jules Verne, foot-binding, and fairies kidnapping babies. There are tours to hospitals in London and Siena, to the art of Domenico di Bartolo, Lavinia Fontana, and Quentin Massys, and stops at a sweet and sour column called Hektorade.
We invite you to participate in our new contest, the Hektoen Grand Prix Essay Competition!
Winners can receive up to $1,000 and have their articles published in Hektoen International. Please click here for more details.
