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