Discover the fascinating history of poison through the ages with 'The Poison in History' by Roberto Pelta. This book explores the discovery of poisons by primitive peoples, the criminal biographies of professional poisoners such as Locusta, the Borgias and the Medicis, and the use of poisons and antidotes by doctors in the past. Immerse yourself in the relationship between poisons and the search for the philosopher's stone, Freud's addiction to opium, barbiturate poisoning, and the challenges that poisons pose to Scotland Yard. An intriguing adventure that will make you reflect on the morbid interest aroused by murder by poisoning, a subtle crime that requires planning, premeditation and a touch of mystery.
