Binding: soft cove
The Black Death was the fourteenth century's equivalent of a
nuclear war. It wiped out one-third of Europe's population, and
irrevocably changed the lives of those who survived. And yet,
most of what we know about it is wrong. The details of the Plague
etched in the minds of terrified schoolchildren-the hideous black
welts, the high fever, and the awful end by respiratory
failure-are more or less accurate. But what the Plague really was
and how it made history remain shrouded in a haze of myths.
Here, Norman Cantor, the premier historian of the Middle Ages,
draws together recent scientific discoveries and groundbreaking
historical research to pierce the mist and tell the story of the
Black Death as a gripping, intimate narrative. By focusing on
twenty pivotal figures from the time, Cantor shows the lasting
influence the Plague has had on history, culture, and
religion.
