Krátky popis
A killer virus...an all-powerful Empress...an encounter cloaked in
secrecy...the astonishing true story. Within living memory,
smallpox was a dreaded disease. Over human history it has killed
untold millions.In the eighteenth century, as epidemics swept
Europe, the first rumours emerged of an effective treatment: a
mysterious method called inoculation. But a key problem remained:
convincing people to accept the preventative remedy, the forerunner
of vaccination. Arguments raged over risks and benefits, and public
resistance ran high.As smallpox ravaged her empire and threatened
her court, Catherine the Great took the momentous decision to
summon the Quaker physician Thomas Dimsdale from Hertford to St
Petersburg to carry out a secret mission that would transform both
their lives. Lucy Ward expertly unveils the extraordinary story of
Enlightenment ideals, female leadership and the fight to promote
science over superstition.
