Product Information

"Powerful, rich with details, moving, humane, and full of important lessons for an age when weapons of mass destruction are loose among us." -- Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb The Great Plague is one of the most compelling events in human history--even more so now, when the notion of plague has never loomed larger as a contemporary public concern. The plague that devastated Asia and Europe in the 14th century has been of never-ending interest to both scholarly and general readers. Many books on the plague rely on statistics to tell the story: how many people died; how farm output and trade declined. But statistics can't convey what it was like to sit in Siena or Avignon and hear that a thousand people a day are dying two towns away. Or to have to chose between your own life and your duty to a mortally ill child or spouse. Or to live in a society where the bonds of blood and sentiment and law have lost all meaning, where anyone can murder or rape or plunder anyone else without fear of consequence. In The Great Mortality , author John Kelly lends an air of immediacy and intimacy to his telling of the journey of the plague as it traveled from the steppes of Russia, across Europe, and into England, killing 75 million people--one third of the known population--before it vanished.

Reviews
It's almost unethical to write a book on human cataclysm as entertaining as The Great Mortality. Strange that a book about the worst natural disaster in European history should be so full of life. This book may be written in the tradition of Barbara Tuchman but there is a seething vitality here that is Kelly's alone., John Kelly gives the reader a ferocious, pictorial account of the horrific ravages of [The Black Death]., A rich and evocative narrative history of the late Middle Ages, written in the tradition of Barbara Tuchman, which brings alive the time of the Black Death. I couldn't stop reading Kelly's story. It's a work of brilliance and wisdom., A fascinating account of the plague that swept Europe and Asia in the 14th century, killing about half the population. It's a frightening reminder of what could happen today., The Black Death is history's best-known pandemic, but until now its full history has not been written. In The Great Mortality John Kelly gives a human face to the 14th century disaster that claimed 75 million lives, a third of the world's population., Rich and evocative…written in the tradition of Barbara Tuchman, I couldn't stop reading this work of brilliance and wisdom., THE GREAT MORTALITY is a chilling account of a global siege, public pits, death-carts, silent villages and empty streets., THE GREAT MORTALITY skillfully draws on eyewitness accounts to construct a journal of the plague years., John Kelly gives the reader a ferocious, pictorial account of the horrific ravages of [the] plague...an emotionally accessible narrative, animated by wrenchingly vivid tableaus and alarming first-hand witness accounts. . . that give the reader an intimate sense of day-to-day life in medieval Europe., Rich and evocative...written in the tradition of Barbara Tuchman, I couldn't stop reading this work of brilliance and wisdom., A ground-level illustration of how the plague ravaged Europe...putting a vivid, human face on an unimaginable nightmare., Rich and evocative.written in the tradition of Barbara Tuchman, I couldn't stop reading this work of brilliance and wisdom., Stunning. . . . Kelly combines distinguished scholarship in the science, medicine and European history [and] meets some of the world's darkest days as if he were a forensic sleuth who must first re-create the ambience of the victims' world before tracking down their deaths. He endows The Great Mortality with the sheer immediacy ancient history yields to only a few., John Kelly approaches the story of the greatest tragedy in history like a forensic detective who must first recreate the life of the victims before examining their deaths. He probes through the debris of their virtues and sins as well as the mere foibles of daily life to reveal the rich and colorful world that was suddenly ripped apart and nearly destroyed by climate change, famine, and, ultimately, the horrors of the worst plague in world history. . . . Kelly's book might also be a warning about our own future., Powerful, rich, moving, humane, and full of important lessons for an age when weapons of mass destruction are loose., A ground-level illustration of how the plague ravaged Europe…putting a vivid, human face on an unimaginable nightmare., Stunning. The Great Mortality [is endowed with] the sheer immediacy ancient history yields to only a few., A ground-level illustration of how the plague ravaged Europe.putting a vivid, human face on an unimaginable nightmare., Splendidly written. Kelly has written a popular history based on the best scholarship available, and written it very well indeed., Timely and welcome . . . conveys in excruciating but necessary detail a powerful sense of just how terribly Europe suffered, and just how resilient it was in the face of what seemed to many certain extinction., Powerful, rich with details, moving, humane, and full of important lessons for an age when weapons of mass destruction are loose among us., The Great Mortality skillfully draws on eyewitness accounts to construct a journal of the plague years., John Kelly combines the skills of a medical writer with those of a historian . . . [he] offers an insightful and rather frightening exploration of medieval medicine. Exhaustively researched and relying largely on accounts of those who lived through the Black Death, Kelly's narrative offers us an intimate exploration of a world falling apart.
