Books By Torkil Færø - Author

Dr Torkil Fær¢ is a general practitioner and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. In 1996 he was one of the first Norwegian medics to work for Doctors Without Borders when he worked in war-torn Angola. Over a 25-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had tens of thousands of consultations and gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He has learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies.

Fær¢ is also an award-winning photographer, author of Kamerakuren (The Camera Cure), and has made documentaries about his pilgrimages to Nidaro and Santiago de Compostela. An inveterate traveller, he has made his way by bicycle, motorbike, kayak, boat and car through over 80 countries, and speaks eight languages. He lives in Oslo with his wife and two children.
