You might be wondering why you should buy a book about a controversial topic. Very few people truly understand what the pandemic entailed. However, one thing is crystal clear: in 2020, the entire human race experienced an unprecedented event—the lockdown. For two months, we were all confined within the walls of our homes, simultaneously and universally. This was an unprecedented global context that united us like never before.
In this book, "World's Pandemic Chronicles," you will encounter the perspectives of 33 writers who delve into the subject of self-isolation. They provide insights into this entirely new situation for individuals and communities alike. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, we all encountered similar challenges, ranging from job losses to concerns about personal health and the well-being of those around us. We also grappled with fears about our future and the future of humanity. As we navigated this global crisis, we shared the same thought processes and asked ourselves identical questions.
By reading the accounts of individuals from diverse countries, it becomes evident that despite speaking different languages and adhering to distinct traditions, we all face the same problems. We experience similar feelings of anxiety, discuss our love stories, share common states of mind, enjoy similar activities, and make comparable plans for ourselves and our children. In this vast and uncertain world, we all yearn for safety and strive to find the best solutions to improve our lives. Thus, during the 2020 lockdown, we chose to express ourselves through writing.
"World's Pandemic Chronicles" is a book that explores the lockdown experience, revealing how people from various corners of the globe spent their time. Whether in New Zealand, India, the USA, or elsewhere, this book brought together strangers who, through their shared experiences, transcended virtual connections and formed genuine friendships. Together, we found liberation and the opportunity to meet in person.
