Throughout history plague has been the cause of many major catastrophes. It was responsible for the "Plague of Justinian" in 542, the Black Death of 1348, and the Great Plague of London in 1665, as well as for devastating epidemics in China and India between the 1890s and 1920s. In the 21st century, coronavirus pandemics have served as a powerful reminder that we have not escaped the global impact of epidemic diseases.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Paul Slack takes a global approach to explore the historical and social impact of plague over the centuries, looking at the ways in which it has been interpreted and the powerful images it has left behind in art and literature. Examining what plague meant for those who suffered from it and how governments began to fight against it, he demonstrates the impact plague has had on modern notions of public health and how it has shaped our history. This new edition also includes evidence on the nature of plague taken from recent discoveries in ancient DNA as well as new research on plague in the Middle East.

I found the first couple of chapters very interesting. The second part not so much (about plague in the 19th and 20th century and about modern novels etc. on the plague). I also do not like the narrator's voice. It sounds very nasal.

Interesting first couple of chapters!
