The familiar notion of fatigue, which in the 20th and 21st centuries has come into the public spotlight and become a more prominent part of our everyday life, has undergone significant transformations over the course of different eras. Georges Vigarello's book tells how Western civilization has learned to recognize fatigue, fight it, and distinguish its spiritual aspects from its physical ones. The author addresses the history of the body and medical practices, the history of labor, war, sport, and intimacy. The pious exhaustion of medieval pilgrims, the fatigue of knights after tournaments, the burnout of modern office workers, the exhaustion of medics in covid hospitals... This book is a tour through all types and historical stages of fatigue. Georges Vigarello is a French historian and sociologist, a member of the École Supérieure des Sciences Sociales, and the author of The Art of Attractiveness, published in UFO.
