About the Book

En 1674, le micrographe hollandais Leewenhoeck decouvre qu'une goutte d'eau de pluie grouille d'animalcules. Ainsi commence, fort modestement, la saga des microbes. Longtemps les micro-organismes resteront des etres marginaux indignes de l'attention des grands savants, et c'est dans les salons et les cabinets d'amateurs que le microscope trouvera d'abord refuge, bien que les premieres theories microbiennes des maladies infectieuses aient ete imaginees des le XVIIe siecle. A partir de 1880, la revolution pasteurienne submerge tout. Enfin demasques, les germes pathogenes se heurtent a l'arsenal des vaccins et des serums. L'ancienne hygiene hippocratique, fondee sur les apparences et plus dangereuse que bienfaisante, s'efface derriere la nouvelle hygiene antimicrobienne qui s'attaque enfin aux sources vives de la maladie infectieuse. La purification des eaux potables, des eaux-vannes et de l'air, la lutte contre cette pollution microbienne qui tue les etres par millions en sont les enjeux. Elles reforment les habitudes, remodelent le paysage. C'est cette histoire que Pierre Darmon retrace pour la premiere fois dans sa totalite. A travers le recit des decouvertes scientifiques et de toutes les maladies infectieuses, depuis la peste jusqu'aux maladies de la vache folle et du legionnaire, son livre brosse un tableau des hommes de la microbiologie, de la societe et de la vie quotidienne. Docteur d'Etat et directeur de recherche au CNRS (centre Roland-Mousnier), Pierre Darmon est historien de la medecine. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs livres sur l'histoire des sytemes de generation, de la sexualite, de la variole, du cance et de l'anthropologie criminelle. Il a recemment publie une biographie de Pasteur (Fayard, 1995).

About the Author :
Ancien directeur de recherche au centre R. Mousnier (Paris IV), docteur es lettres, Pierre Darmon est specialiste de l'histoire de la medecine: Le mythe de la procreation a l'age baroque (Seuil, 1977), Le tribunal de l'impuissance (Seuil, 1979), Medecins et assassins a la Belle Epoque (Seuil, 1989), Les cellules folles (Plon, 1993), Pasteur (Fayard, 1995), L'Homme et les microbes (Fayard, 1999). Il est aussi auteur de recits et de biographies dont le crime est rarement absent: Gabrielle Perreau, femme adultere (Grasset, 1981), La Veuve sanglante (Grasset, 1985), La Malle a Gouffe (Denoel, 1988), Landru (Plon, 1994). Peut-etre est-ce en raison de ses origines algeriennes pluriseculaires - il est ne a Oran - que cet esprit original et incisif a consacre plus de six annees a tenter de comprendre, au prix d'un travail enorme, ce que fut l'Algerie reputee francaise.
