Nesta historia com toques de ciencia e por vezes ciencia em contexto historico, temos uma oportunidade para reconhecer que ja estivemos aqui antes, numa pandemia que de fato concluiu um seculo. Quem sabe desta vez aprendemos a liço?" Suzana Herculano-Houzel"Entre negaço da ciencia, curas milagrosas e uma doença que escancarou as desigualdades sociais da epoca, os historiadores do futuro, ao analisar a brilhante obra de Lilia Moritz Schwarcz e Heloisa Murgel Starling sobre a pandemia de 1918 escrita durante a pandemia de 2020 , indagaro, perplexos: Mas como pode ser possivel que, em cem anos, no aprenderam nada?" Natalia Pasternak"Em um mundo ja fragilizado pela Primeira Grande Guerra, a gripe espanhola colocou em evidencia a vulnerabilidade humana diante de um novo virus. Este livro narra com maestria as rotas e a velocidade de disseminaço da doença, ao mesmo tempo em que acentua as dificuldades e os equivocos para seu enfrentamento no Brasil oligarquico da Primeira Republica. Convida-nos a refletir sobre o valor da imaginaço historica para a abordagem da crise contemporanea." Nisia Trindade Lima
