Features: This book depicts the short life of a boy with black hair and blue eyes, born without the ability to feel pain. A boy born with the sense of pain but never loved, completely unaware of any feelings—James. He didn’t speak until the age of eleven, coinciding with an outbreak of infectious diseases and family upheavals, marking the beginning of his days of wandering. He encountered various odd events—some exploited his lack of pain sensation to sell elixirs, while others collected him as a showpiece, "The Iron-Hearted" James. He became an excellent surgeon, sweating over the muscles and flesh. Until he fell in love with the madwoman Dott and lost her instantly, James began to experience the seven emotions and six desires of humans, starting to understand sadness, tears, and physical pain. "Pain" is the sensation of the body; the pain in the heart is "suffering." This book profoundly explores these two forms of suffering that exist in the human body. The author narrates James’s legendary life amidst intricate and tightly woven plots, making it a masterpiece in literature!
