Ésta es la historia de Abul Qasim, el médico personal del califa Abderrahmán III y, probablemente, el cirujano español más notable de todos los tiempos. Hace diez siglos, este genio andalusí, gracias a su intuición y apoyándose en revolucionarias técnicas inventadas por él —que han llegado hasta nuestros días—, ya operaba con éxito cataratas, hernias y bocios; hacía traqueotomías, trepanaciones, amputaciones e, incluso, intervenía cólicos misereres. Antonio Cavanillas de Blas, cirujano él mismo, nos traslada con inigualable maestría a la mágica Córdoba del siglo X, la ciudad más populosa de Occidente, en la que se reunía todo el saber de su tiempo. Y nos lleva a contemplar, a vivir casi, las intervenciones de Abul Qasim, así como las aventuras del harén, el aroma del zoco, el esplendor califal o el largo viaje a Bagdad en busca de conocimiento.
