Everything is Tuberculosis - The history and persistence of our deadliest infection

de John Green

~~29,74€~~ 23,79€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

The Finest Hotel In Kabul - A People's History Of Afghanistan

de Lyse Doucet

~~22,97€~~ 18,38€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction A sweeping and immersive history of modern Afghanistan - the first book from one of the world's leading war correspondents. 'Simply unforgettable' ELIF SHAFAK 'Incredible' PETER FRANKOPAN 'Utterly compelling' PHILIPPE SANDS 'Ingenious' KAMILA SHAMSIE 'Beautiful' RORY STEWART In 1969, the luxury Hotel Inter-Continental Kabul opened its doors: a glistening white box, high on a hill, that reflected Afghanistan's hopes of becoming a modern country, connected to the world. Lyse Doucet first checked into the Hotel Inter-Continental Kabul in 1988. In the decades since, she has witnessed a Soviet evacuation, a devastating civil war, the US invasion, and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban, all from within its increasingly battered walls. The Inter-Con has never closed its doors. Now, she weaves together the experiences of the Afghans who have kept the hotel running to craft a richly immersive history of their country. It is the story of Hazrat, the septuagenarian housekeeper who still holds fast to his Inter-Continental training from the hotel's 1970s glory days - an era of haute cuisine and high fashion, when Afghanistan was a kingdom and Kabul was the 'Paris of Central Asia'. Of Abida, who became the first female chef after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. And of Malalai and Sadeq, the twenty-somethings who seized every opportunity offered by two decades of fragile democracy - only to see the Taliban come roaring back in 2021. Through these intimate portraits of Kabul life, the story of a hotel becomes the story of a people.
