Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the cholera epidemic of 1865, focusing on its devastating impact on the city of Marseille. The author, a medical professional who witnessed the outbreak firsthand, meticulously traces the path of the disease as it spread across continents, infecting countless individuals and claiming thousands of lives. The book not only chronicles the progression of the epidemic but also delves into the complex scientific debate surrounding its transmission. The author presents compelling evidence to support the theory of contagion by infection, demonstrating how the disease was carried by people, their belongings, and even the air they breathed. This perspective challenged prevailing beliefs of the time and had a profound impact on the development of public health measures. Beyond its historical account, the book offers valuable insights into the social and economic consequences of the epidemic. The author describes the panic and fear that gripped Marseille as the death toll mounted, leading to the abandonment of entire neighborhoods and the disruption of daily life. By shedding light on the devastating human cost of the disease, the book underscores the importance of preventive measures and the need for timely and effective responses to future outbreaks.
