In everyday life, few people think about tuberculosis, considering it something extremely distant. However, those who are sick with it are always among us, and many carry Koch's bacilli in their bodies all their lives without getting sick. In the book "Old Koch. Why consumption occupies our minds, hearts and lungs" the authors will tell: how this disease was discovered and how they learned to treat it, how the attitude towards tuberculosis changed over the years? What place does it occupy in modern times as a disease and as a phenomenon in history? In addition, the cultural aspects of consumption will also be touched upon, because it has had a strong influence on our civilization, on many of our idols. Famous writers, musicians, artists - how often did they suffer from tuberculosis or lose their loved ones because of it? This invariably found a strong response in their work, or maybe this was the engine that drove them to create great things? The authors will tell about the most significant works and figures of art who were not spared by tuberculosis.
