Em 1713, a peste voltou a Praga. A maioria dos médicos de repente se lembrou de negócios urgentes em outros lugares. Alexandr Schamsky, de 28 anos e aparentemente sem esse instinto de sobrevivência, ficou — tratou pacientes, documentou o caos, de alguma forma viveu para contar a história. Três séculos depois, siga seus passos exatos com um Guia em traje completo do médico da peste: máscara de beco, capuz, saco de couro e tudo. Em 90 minutos você ouvirá cinco teorias concorrentes sobre o que causou a peste, provar uma pílula anti-peste (moderna e inofensiva), cheirar o óleo de lavanda histórico e passar por um dos mais antigos hospitais da Europa - emergindo com nada pior do que uma suspeita recém-descoberta de abacates. História real. Caráter real. Zero praga real. Publicado no New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vogue e Forbes. Adequado para todas as idades.
Conheça seu médico da peste fora da belamente decorada Casa do Poço Dourado, construída em 1715 para celebrar o fim da peste. Conheça Alexandr Schamsky, aprenda sobre os santos da peste Sebastian e Rochus e descubra por que três litros de cerveja de alho por dia eram considerados conselhos médicos sólidos.
Entre em um dos pátios mais atmosféricos de Praga - apenas a 20 metros das multidões de turistas, mas sinta-se como um século completamente diferente. Saiba como os ricos escaparam da praga (eles sempre fazem), como famílias comuns foram Bloqueadas dentro de suas próprias casas por guardas noturnos armados, e como Schamsky acabou se tornando um médico contra todas as chances.
Conheça os dois tipos de peste - bubônica e pneumônica - incluindo sintomas, taxas de sobrevivência e a natureza surpreendentemente semelhante ao abacate de um bubo. Conheça o traje do médico da peste de perto, incluindo a famosa máscara de beco e seu sistema de filtração de ar bastante pungente.
Descubra por que a comunidade judaica de Praga teve um desempenho significativamente melhor durante a peste - e o que isso nos diz sobre higiene, água doce e os perigos de jogar lixo pelas janelas. Também um breve encontro com Kafka, que, como a peste, aparece em toda a Praga, quer você queira ou não.
Passe pelo mais antigo hospital ativo da Europa e conheça outro herói esquecido: Celestine Opitz, a cirurgiã que realizou a primeira cirurgia bem sucedida sob anestesia total em 1847. O paciente acordou, todos celebraram, e então o paciente morreu. Mas ainda - progresso. Saiba sobre a pulga de rato, Yersinia Pestis, e receba sua pílula anti-peste.
Terminar sua jornada no convento sereno do século 13, onde os primeiros casos de peste de Praga foram relatados. Saiba sobre medicina medieval alternativa, por que a lavanda manteve as pulgas longe, e o que eventualmente aconteceu com Alexandr Schamsky. O tour termina com uma foto de grupo e um poema - parte medieval, parte de banda de metal, totalmente inesquecível.

What an amazing tour! Our guide David was a really fun storyteller and managed to keep us all invested during the entire tour - including the kids. You can really tell so much passion and work was put into this project. What the team does by bringing these forgotten or less known stories to the general public isn't just extremely interesting, it's also so so important for history preservation! If you have the chance and find the topic even slightly interesting, definitely book it, I can't recommend it enough! One of my favorite memories from my Prague trip for sure
Hello 231anyaa, Thanks so much for such a detailed review. Very pleased to read your feedback. We hope to see you in our tour or maybe in our storytelling training, David & Your plague doctors and nightwatchmen of Prague
This tour was absolutely amazing!! Aside from learning more about this interesting topic, we were able to pass by a lot of notable Prague landmarks right at sunset. It was such a beautiful evening stroll packed full of riveting trivia. Maria was super personable, engaging, and knowledgeable about the topic. She had a great sense of humor! We had a few kids on our tour, and she went out of her way to make them feel included, which I thought was so sweet. Maria is definitely one of the best tour guides I've ever had! She even let us take photos with her in her plague doctor costume at the end. I highly recommend booking this tour during your stay in Prague.
