More about the book
The Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 serves as a pivotal moment in history, challenging the emerging post-enlightenment worldview that sought to reconcile faith, philosophy, and science. The catastrophic event, which resulted in the deaths of up to 100,000 people, shattered the belief that humanity had a grasp on the universe. Its unpredictability and scale defied rational explanation and raised profound questions about divine will, leaving a lasting impact on Western thought and belief systems.
