Prendendo spunto dal saggio dello scrittore Italo Calvino, Perchè leggere i classici, e delle riflessioni della scrittrice iraniana Azar Nafisi nel saggio La repubblica dell'immaginazione, gli Autori conducono una riflessione sull'importanza dei libri classici in particolare per la formazione di un medico, sottolineando come questi contribuiscano alla sua formazione personale e arricchiscano anche il training clinico.
