These days, we’re all thinking about sickness and pandemics - but these have been around for a long time in various forms. With them, have been men and women dedicated to healing, as well as unexpectedly human stories of extraordinary courage. Today, we talk about a new translated book about three generations of doctors, and then a classic book that speaks of the breakdown of civilisation due to a pandemic.
This is episode #13 of Bookasur, talking about mist rising like chloroform, the Spanish Flu, a pretended blindness, and success in your sixties.
Books featured:
A Ballad of Remittent Fever, by Ashoke Mukhopadhyay, translated by Arunava Sinha, published by Aleph.
Blindness, by Jose Saramago, translated by Giovanni Pontiero, published by Vintage Classics.
