En 1887, Louis Pasteur funda una escuela de biologi?a y descubre la vacuna contra la rabia. A sus veintido?s an?os, el suizo Alexandre Yersin llega a Pari?s y se suma a la aventura pasteuriana; todo lo encamina a convertirse en uno de los sucesores privilegiados del maestro. Pero a Yersin lo mueve un espi?ritu aventurero. Entonces, el joven se enrola como me?dico en un barco e inicia sus travesi?as por Extremo Oriente, explora la jungla, y viaja a China, Ade?n y Madagascar. Y durante la gran epidemia de Hong Kong, en 1894, descubre el bacilo de la peste. E?stas son so?lo algunas de las hazan?as de un cienti?fico y explorador al que Patrick Deville consagra esta emocionante epopeya de tintes conradianos, donde el brillante ejercicio literario se combina con un preciso trabajo de documentacio?n. Peste & Co?lera es la narracio?n de una apasionada aventura cienti?fica y humana.Y, a la vez, el relato de las primeras de?cadas de un convulso siglo XX, que transcurre al ritmo del avio?n desde el que Yersin, en 1940, rememora una vida dedicada al desarrollo del conocimiento humano.

About the Author
Patrick Deville (Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, Loira Atlántico, 1957) es diplomado en Literatura Francesa y Comparada y en Filosofía, y fue agregado cultural en el Golfo Pérsico. Es director de la Maison des Écrivains Étrangers et des Traducteurs (MEET) en Saint-Nazaire. Anagrama ha publicado El catalejo, Pura vida: «La historia convertida en prosa literaria gracias a Deville, la literatura transformada en historia gracias a este escritor francés de envergadura universal» (J. J. Armas Marcelo, El Mundo); Peste & Cólera (Prix des Prix, Premio Femina, Premio FNAC): «Se lee como las mejores novelas de aventuras... Obra maestra» (Alberto Manguel, El País); «Una hermosa, estimulante y multidisciplinar obra maestra» (Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia); «El libro deslumbra como un buen poema, ilumina como un buen relato y como novela, surgida de una vida real, es maravillosa» (José Carlos Llop, Diario de Mallorca); Ecuatoria: «Como en un tapiz de múltiples hilos, Ecuatoria entrelaza las abominaciones y absurdos del siglo XIX con las del nuestro» (Alberto Manguel, El País); «Deville trata de socavar la historia oficial, la de los colonizadores, y ofrecernos una visión más compleja del continente africano» (Germán Gullón, El Mundo); y Viva: «El último eslabón, por ahora, de ese gran ciclo de novelas con el que Deville está dando su particular vuelta al mundo» (Elena Hevia, El Periódico); «Los lectores de Peste & Cólera y Ecuatoria –cabe pensar que entusiastas– van a redoblar su fervor hacia Patrick Deville cuando lean Viva. Deville se supera a sí mismo, lo que parece difícil» (Manuel Hidalgo, El Mundo).
