From the acclaimed author of Miracle Cure and The Third Horseman,
the epic story of the collision between one of nature's smallest
organisms and history's mightiest empire During the golden age of
the Roman Empire, Emperor Justinian reigned over a territory that
stretched from Italy to North Africa. It was the zenith of his
achievements and the last of them. In 542 AD, the bubonic plague
struck. In weeks, the glorious classical world of Justinian had
been plunged into the medieval and modern Europe was born. At its
height, five thousand people died every day in Constantinople.
Cities were completely depopulated. It was the first pandemic the
world had ever known and it left its indelible mark: when the
plague finally ended, more than 25 million people were dead.
Weaving together history, microbiology, ecology, jurisprudence,
theology, and epidemiology, Justinian's Flea is a unique and
sweeping account of the little known event that changed the course
of a continent.
