The Hidden History of Hygiene: Soap, Sanitation and Civilization - Couverture souple
Livre 4 sur 5: Hidden Histories
Synopsis
From Roman bathhouses echoing with marble laughter to the reeking alleys of Victorian London, humanity’s struggle to stay clean has shaped our bodies, our cities, and even our souls. The Hidden History of Hygiene unearths a story of faith and filth, invention and obsession, microbes and morality.
Across continents and centuries, purity became power. Islamic scholars turned ritual washing into a science; medieval monks feared that water could open the body to sin; industrial chemists turned soap into empire. From the plague pits of Europe to the public bathhouses of Japan, every civilization wrestled with what it meant to be pure.
This sweeping journey reveals how plumbing, perfume, and propaganda transformed not just how we live — but what we believe about ourselves.
Cleanliness has always been more than skin deep.
