«In tijden van besmetting» is Paolo Giordano's essay on covid-19, published by De Bezige Bij in paperback (79 pages, in Dutch).
Giordano reflects from his scientific background on the coronavirus pandemic: he shows how the virus highlights global interconnectedness and that individual decisions affect everyone. He also captures the fear that civilization is a house of cards and that, once the danger has passed, everything will remain the same.
Originally «Nel contagio» in Italian, the Dutch edition was translated by Pietha de Voogd.
For readers of social essays and pandemic analysis, with a perspective combining science and humanistic reflection.
Paolo Giordano is an Italian writer who won the Premio Strega literary award with his first novel The Solitude of Prime Numbers.
