Around the year 1200 BC, the most connected world that had ever existed came apart. From the palaces of Mycenae to the harbors of the Levant, from the Hittite capital in the Anatolian highlands to the grain barges of the Nile, a web of kingdoms had spent three centuries learning to depend on one another for tin and copper, grain and gold, marriage alliances and mutual defense.

He was not a doctor. He was admitted to the Academy of Medicine by a majority of exactly one vote, and once, after explaining to that same Academy where chicken cholera comes from, he was challenged to a duel by an eighty-year-old orthopedic surgeon who did not believe in germs and did not intend to start. Louis Pasteur also saved more human lives than anyone else alive in his century. The Invisible World follows him from a tanner's yard in the Jura to a crypt lined with gold mosaic, and argues that everything he did came out of a single stubborn conviction formed when he was twenty-five...
