Description

'The terrible cholera epidemic of 1892' offers insights into the inner life of a great European city at the height of the industrial age. The whole story of 'the cholera years' is tragically revealing of the age's social inequalities and administrative incompetence; it also offers some disquieting parallels with attitudes to AIDS.
