The second half of the 19th century. The birth of modern medicine. Research is hindered by both spoken and unspoken obstacles created by superstitions, such as legal restrictions on working with human corpses. However, doctors are still improving surgery and anesthesia, hygiene in medicine, and knowledge about the causes of diseases. In these conditions, the young medical genius Spencer Black grows. He lost his parents at an early age, but he was educated at the Academy of Medicine, and later with his successes he raised its prestige to incredible heights. Black focuses on an unusual topic - congenital pathologies of the human body. Separate fused fingers? Remove the extra hand? Nothing is impossible for Spencer Black! Eventually, hard work brings him recognition and money. During this period, he meets a like-minded woman and a loved one. However, the doctor's happy family life does not last long. And all because of his morbid obsession with work. One of his most controversial hypotheses is: what if the ancient myths are true? What if the creatures that currently exist only in world legends lived in reality and were our ancestors? What, how the memory of their structure is still manifested in the bodies of individual people? Rejection from the scientific community does not stop Black, and he decides to communicate his ideas to the general public through art. Spectacular shows, skillfully made effigies, amazing operations just on the stage - everything to show what the ancient fauna could have been... And finally - the mysterious "Codex of Extinct Animals". During his lifetime, Spencer Black managed to write many works about his research, which did not leave the scientific community indifferent. However, the "Codex" can be called his pinnacle work - a work that remained inaccessible to the reader for a long time. Now you can familiarize yourself with it on the pages of this publication - appreciate the detailed sketches of animals, read how Dr. Black hunted the remains of legendary creatures around the world. Did the author of the "Codex" really see and experience everything that he described on its pages? It's up to you.
