Rekommenderad läsning om den epidemi som blev den senaste pestepidemin i Sverige, föga känd. ( ) I read this now during the Corona/CoVid-19 pandemic. Very interesting to compare now and then - and that members of the Public Health Agency, as well as the government and parliament in Sweden would have read this book - to get a perspective on decisions and especially non-decisions. I enjoyed the format of this book - more a journalistic travel back in time than being a full academic report. The real persons that carries the narrative through their letters and diaries gives a reality check and brings the human to human dimension to the book. no reviews | add a review
År 1710, mitt under brinnande krig, dog på kort tid hälften av Stockholms befolkning i pesten. Boken berättar hur epidemin spred sig bland Stockholms gator och gränder, för att därefter ta sig vidare ut i landet. Vetenskapsjournalisten Magnus Västerbro skildrar hur de enskilda människorna reagerade, vilket ansvar myndigheterna tog och hur pesten bidrog till den svenska stormaktens undergång.
