Produktbeschreibung

"The Black Death" explores the devastating Bubonic Plague of the 14th century, analyzing its origins, progression, and lasting consequences on world history. The book delves into how this infectious disease decimated populations, leading to significant economic shifts and a questioning of religious authority. One intriguing fact is the role of trade routes, like the Silk Road, in accelerating the plague's spread across continents. The book offers a comprehensive narrative grounded in historical records and recent scientific studies.

It meticulously chronicles the plague's journey from Central Asia to Europe, detailing its profound impact on medieval society, affecting labor, agriculture, and even artistic expression. It also emphasizes the relevance of the Black Death in understanding modern pandemics and public health. By integrating epidemiology, economics, and religious studies, the book provides a nuanced understanding of this pivotal event.

The book progresses by first establishing the 14th-century context and scientific understanding of Yersinia pestis. It then meticulously chronicles the plague's journey and impact and finally explores the plague's legacy. This approach makes it valuable for anyone interested in history, infectious diseases, and how single events can profoundly alter civilization.
