This Gulf of Fire: The Great Lisbon Earthquake, or Apocalypse in the Age of Science and ReasonThis Gulf of Fire: The Great Lisbon Earthquake, or Apocalypse in the Age of Science and Reason by Mark Molesky.

The definitive account of the Great Lisbon Earthquake–the most consequential natural disaster of modern times. On All Saints’ Day 1755, tremors from an earthquake measuring approximately 9.0 or perhaps higher on the magnitude scale swept toward Lisbon, then one of the wealthiest cities in the world and the capital of a vast global empire. Within minutes, much of the city lay in ruins.


Lisbon: City of the SeaLisbon: City of the Sea by Malcolm Jack.

Malcolm Jack captures the rich and unique history of this haunting and attractive port whose prominent position on the Tagus estuary has inextricably bound its character with the sea. Beginning with its earliest inhabitants, Jack traces Lisbon’s life through its imperial success in the 16th century and the devastating earthquake that humbled the city and shocked Europe in 1755 to its current position as a vibrant and successful European capital.


Lisbon in the Renaissance (Historical Travel)Lisbon in the Renaissance (Historical Travel) by Damião de Góis.

De Gois was a Portuguese humanist, a friend of Erasmus and his circle, and a writer imbued with the classical learning of his day. His Description was written in 1554 at the height of the city’s commercial and cultural influence. It places the city in its geographical and historical setting, surveys its topography and environs, and reviews its major architectural attractions.
