THE BIRTHPLACE OF FRYDERYK CHOPIN AND PARK IN ŻELAZOWA WOLA
Żelazowa Wola 15, 96-503 Sochaczew
THE LECTURE WILL BE CONDUCTED IN POLISH
In the 19th century, two infectious diseases in particular were dangerous to the inhabitants of Europe. The first was tuberculosis, which gradually developed in the body but very often led to death; the second, cholera, which could kill a healthy person even in a single day. For many decades of that century, it was unclear how to combat both diseases. Only the research and discoveries of, among others, British physician John Snow and legendary bacteriologist Robert Koch highlighted the need for improved hygiene and sanitation, especially in large cities. Both diseases left a mark on the lives of many distinguished people. Poets, painters, composers, and royal heads died from tuberculosis. Famous commanders, on the other hand, often succumbed to cholera. Images of these diseases are present in literature, art, music, and even urban spaces. On certain thematic levels, one can even speak of the mythologization of the disease. And it is primarily this humanistic context that the April lecture will be devoted to.
Date: April 15, 12:00 PM
Topic: "In the Embrace of the White Plague and the Blue Strangler, or a Humanist's View of Tuberculosis and Cholera in Fryderyk Chopin's Life"
Lecturer: Dr. Adam Tyszkiewicz
Pianist: Justyna Żołnacz
