Farabeuf

Farabeuf

Louis Hubert Farabeuf (1841 – 1910), French surgeon who is said to have introduced hygiene in French medical schools. His statue dominates the central court of the National School of Medicine in Paris and the main amphitheater of it is also named after him. Farabeuf wrote some short surgical booklets (précis) and designed several medical instruments that are still in use today. His passionate writings and descriptions of amputation surgery attracted the attention of several writers. Salvador Elizondo wrote a cryptic biography of Farabeuf in which he emphasized and exaggerated the surgeons morbid eroticism. It is through thissecret classic of the aesthetics of evilthat Farabeuf is mostly known. Elizondo presented Farabeuf also as a French secret agent in China after the Boxer Rebellion, who worked secretly for the French Jesuits in sketching a plan for the evangelization of China. Elizondo mixed in "Farabeuf, or the chronic of an instant" events that he borrowed from the lives of Dupuytren, Muybridge, Daguerre, Nadar, and others.
