Omschrijving
On the morning of November 1, 1755, Lisbon was shaken to its core—first by one of the most powerful earthquakes in European history, then by a devastating tsunami, and finally by fires that raged through the shattered city. City of Falling Shadows transports beginners into the heart of this extraordinary disaster, offering an accessible yet emotionally rich journey through one of the defining catastrophes of the Enlightenment era.
Rather than focusing solely on destruction, this inspirational narrative highlights the resilience, courage, and determination that carried Portugal through unimaginable loss. Readers will discover how ordinary citizens, leaders, and thinkers rebuilt not only a city but a national identity—introducing groundbreaking urban planning, disaster response strategies, and philosophical debates that shaped modern Europe.
Through vivid storytelling supported by historical accounts, this book reveals how the quake's aftermath ignited new scientific inquiry, challenged long-held beliefs, and inspired sweeping reforms. Step into the streets where tragedy met transformation and uncover how Lisbon's darkest day became a catalyst for renewal, reinvention, and enduring human strength.
