First, Do Not Harm is a perfect example of how mankind can save our humanity when they put aside their differences about the religion, race, gender, linguistic, social status, and get together to defend and protect their live and the world against a common threat or enemy. Vienna is decimated by a deadly disease, but no one knows that disease is the plague. Dietrich, the watchman and medical student who have studied the human body for many years cannot find an explanation of this disease in any book of medicine, even not after consulting the Bishop of the dominant catholic church. Some corpses carry the marks as if they were murdered. Plague might be a curse from God, but certainly not the only threat killing people in Vienna. Dietrich’s sister, Sophie, a rich woman and a notable of the city, recommends him to Abraham, an apothecary, and the only person in town to possess the knowledge of a mage and capable of explaining that the deadly disease was the plague and warns Dietrich that it is a highly contagious disease. Both men realize that their lives and those of many people was in danger. Only a collective effort and action can save Vienna from the plague and the group of self-proclaimed angels of God who are also killing people to clean Vienna from the impure because it has been a sin and divided city.
Abraham is a Jew who lives in hiding with his wife since the expulsion of many Jews from Vienna. When Dietrich introduce Abraham to the Bishop, both are reluctant to work together. Later in their fight against the common threat to save their live and their city, they meet Belial, the only Muslim still in town even though Muslims also were expulsed from Vienna under the reign of the Hapsburg. The essence of these different characters’ actions and goal in defending the city and their lives is this excerpt from the book itself where KS Avard write:
“…we are more than just Christian. We are Jew and Muslim, Catholic and Orthodox. We are rich and poor, noble and humble. We have come together, blind to the divisions that had previously separated us, every soul bent to the achievement of a single, final goal.”
“I say faith because we have not come together in the face of any profession of holy commandment, much as that may appeal to us now. We have come together to defend the basic goodness that we have seen in every action and sacrifice over the last weeks. My heart is as heavy as yours, weary under the weight of such trial, but we are here! We have leaned on each other and come out to win through the torment!”.
This book is a highly beautifully written and articulated. It is a great read.
