About the Book

C'est a travers quelques schemas reducteurs que Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) a fait son entree dans la memoire collective. Pour la plupart il est le vainqueur de la rage, et cette idee, associee au cliche de la vaccination du petit Joseph Meister, a fini par faire oublier le caractere universel de son oeuvre. En etudiant la structure interne de l'acide paratartrique, Pasteur fonde la stereochimie. En mettant en evidence la dissemination des germes dans l'air, il jette les bases de la microbiologie. En s'attaquant avec succes aux maladies du vin et du ver a soie, en jugulant le charbon et le rouget du porc qui decimaient les troupeaux, il sauve de la misere des millions d'agriculteurs et d'eleveurs. En mettant au point de nouveaux procedes de fabrication du vinaigre et de la biere, il fait la fortune des industriels. En decouvrant les proprietes prophylactiques d'une culture microbienne vieillie, il invente la vaccination experimentale qui consacrera l'effondrement de la mortalite infectieuse. Au-dela de l'oeuvre scientifique de Pasteur, ce livre retrace les aspects les moins connus de la personnalite du savant: l'administrateur et le politicien maladroits, le gestionnaire intransigeant, le polemiste passionne, le patriote exacerbe, l'humaniste et le pere de famille attendris revelent la force de caractere mais aussi les faiblesses et la fragilite d'un homme trop souvent peint aux couleurs du pompierisme. 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 systemes de generation, de la sexualite, de la variole, du cancer et de l'anthropologie criminelle.

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.
