About this listen

Amid the darkness and devastation of Europe's most fearsome epidemics, an eerie figure emerged: the plague doctor. Cloaked in black, masked by a birdlike beak, these mysterious healers walked bravely through towns ravaged by disease, facing an enemy they could neither see nor fully understand. But who were these plague doctors, and what lies behind their iconic masks?

In this vivid narrative, discover the real stories of courage, tragedy, and resilience behind Europe's plague doctors. From the desperate streets of medieval Italy to the silent alleyways of plague-ridden London and Paris, explore the lives and legacies of men like Nostradamus, Nathaniel Hodges, and Guy de Chauliac.

In the Shadow of the Beak reveals how these enigmatic figures evolved from front-line healers into timeless symbols of fear, mystery, and hope.
