Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (ISBN=9780143113812) rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

　　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.
