«Dioses contra microbios: Los griegos y la COVID-19» is the essay by Alejandro Gándara, published by Editorial Ariel in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Written during lockdown, the book reflects on the pandemic from the perspective of Greek philosophy: Gándara recovers a largely forgotten cultural and spiritual legacy that already faced equal or greater difficulties. Between the Iliad and Plato, the author adds a critical look at the media, politicians, figures and solitude.
Published on September 29, 2020 in Barcelona, it belongs to the Ariel collection.
It will appeal to readers of philosophy and history who want to revisit the pandemic through Greek culture.
