History That Rattles
Barbora Jirincova
A razor-sharp, story-first history of how ordinary people survived plagues, hunger, and bad medicine.
For readers who want vivid, short chapters and a grown-up lens on what really kept humans alive.
Historian Barbora Jirincová, PhD, reveals the strange and unsettling truths that shaped our world — from plague doctors and falcons-for-rent to the fashionable tragedy of tuberculosis. These stories aren’t comedy, though some are absurd; they are glimpses of how real people endured hunger, fear, faith, and medicine that often did more harm than good.
Inside, you’ll encounter:
From Kyiv in flames to Cold War catwalks, History That Rattles uncovers the unsettling, often forgotten side of the past — and reminds us that history has always belonged less to emperors than to everyone else.
Both unsettling and illuminating, History That Rattles uncovers the strange truths behind our myths — and reminds us that humanity’s story has always belonged not to emperors, but to everyone else.
