Plague, cholera…and other calamities

A history of infections in Lyon
Jean Freney, Alexandra Dubourget-Narbonnet
EMCC January 2014
Bilingual version
192 pages / €15

Plague, malaria, typhoid, leprosy … the situation of Lyon, at the confluence of two rivers, the world and the crowding of inhabitants, the comings and goings of travellers, as well as the dirt of streets and squares frequently reported by chroniclers have brought multiple infections to the city throughout history.
This richly illustrated book is accompanied by three maps showing the main places in the city that recall this fascinating and all too often little-known history of infections.
