The Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 was no run-of-the-mill misfortune-it was a watershed moment that shook the pillars of an inveterate social order and sent reverberations throughout the Western world. Earth, water, wind, and fire all conspired to produce a hellish catastrophe that lasted for a full five days and left Lisbon thoroughly annihilated. Nicholas Shrady's unique account of this first modern disaster and its aftereffects successfully articulates the outcome of the earthquake-the eighteenth-century equivalent of a mass media frenzy giving rise to a host of other fascinating developments, such as disaster preparedness, landmark social reform, urban planning, and the birth of seismology.

Publisher's note: "The great Lisbon earthquake that struck on the morning of November 1, 1755, was no run-of-the-mill misfortune--it was a watershed moment that shook the pillars of an inveterate social order and sent reverberations throughout the Western world. Earth, water, wind, and fire all conspired to produce a singularly hellish catastrophe--the powerful quakes were followed by three tidal waves that crashed into the waterfront, and strong winds flamed the fires sparked by the quake for a full five days. Lisbon wasn't so much decimated as completely annihilated. The event created the eighteenth-century equivalent of a mass media frenzy; it gave rise to a host of other fascinating developments, such as the first concerted efforts at disaster preparedness, landmark social reforms, urban planning, and the birth of seismology."--Cover.
