Health, Hedonism and Hypochondria

The Hidden History of Spas

Delving behind the glittering façades of traditional European spas, such as Baden-Baden, Vichy and Bath, Ian Bradley uncovers a history of startling treatments, shameless self-indulgence and intrigue. Combining his narrative with anecdotes about famous cure-takers, including Beethoven and Charles Darwin, he reveals that such establishments were renowned as much as fronts for gambling and illicit affairs as for their thermal mineral waters.
