Summary
Entitled Death's theater, this book begins with a story that is an exciting piece of Danish cultural history. It begins before modern medicine takes shape, with the case of the first human dissection in1645 in Copenhagen, an era when knowledge collided with superstition and both rich and poor had to struggle to survive the plague, smallpox, hunger and poor nutrition, and finishes up in the early 1800s.
