"How a transmittable little bacterium with a twisting propellant tail...deeply affected...mankind's perception of itself." Anthony Day, Los Angeles Times From Beethoven to Oscar Wilde, from Van Gogh to Hitler, Deborah Hayden throws new light on the effects of syphilis on the lives and works of seminal figures from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Writing with remarkable insight and narrative flair, Hayden argues that biographers and historians have vastly underestimated the influence of what Thomas Mann called "this exhilarating yet wasting disease." Shrouded in secrecy, syphilis was accompanied by wild euphoria and suicidal depression, megalomania and paranoia, profoundly affecting sufferers' worldview, their sexual behavior, and their art. Deeply informed and courageously argued, Pox has been heralded as a major contribution to our understanding of genius, madness, and creativity.
Deborah Hayden, An Independent Scholar And Marketing Executive, Has Lectured On Syphilis And Creativity, Most Recently At UCSF Medical School, San Francisco Conservatory Of Music, And The Bay Area History Of Medicine Society. She Lives In Mill Valley, California.

评分这是一本不好读的书,分为两部分,第一部分讲述“梅毒这顽疾”,第二部分是“梅毒名人展”。整书琐碎而详实,就像考古挖掘一样,把被历史所埋没的残砖剩瓦挖出来,稍作清理后摆给你看。 也许看看这些前人遗留下的记录,载写着那让人痛苦、衰弱而有时心情愉快的发病过程,可以提...
评分这本书比较扯,反正就拿相关性来说是,写作思路就是找比较知名的人士,然后探究梅毒作用的症状与记载症状是否符合,最后就是找参考文献了............. 通看全篇,猜疑贯穿始终。 不过也提供了新的视角去看待历史人物,观察其病症说不定是个很有趣的写作思路,比如写个美国历...
