Paperback. Condition: Very Good. B/w IIlus (illustrator). A compelling biography of the iconic Tower of Pisa. In this unconventional biography, Nicholas Shrady recounts the rich history of the Tower of Pisa, a structure internationally recognized as both an architectural improbability and a cultural icon. Shrady traces the seminal events in Pisa that prompted the building of the leaning tower, the circumstances and progress of the tower's curse-ridden construction that began in 1173 but stopped for one hundred years after the first four stories were built - its stabilization still continues today - and its eventual conversion into an architectural phenomenon, which has captured the attention of scientists, scholars and tourists worldwide. Nearly a millennium old, the Tower has stood as a silent witness to the great historic and social events that unfolded around it and has influenced such historic figures as Dante, Machiavelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galileli and Lord Byron. But Shrady goes beyond the construction and history of the tower and weaves together his narrative with studies of the highly-charged symbolism which successive epochs have projected upon the icon, each according to their needs. This is a compelling tale of inspired architecture and human machinations, of temporal ambitions and spiritual longing, of science and superstition, and of our persistent urge to gaze in awe at all that is improbable and strange as seen through the unique prism of the world's most resilient of bell towers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; O primeiro abalo atingiu Lisboa na manhã do dia 1º de novembro, de 1755 - Dia de Todos os Santos. Minutos depois, outro ainda mais forte arrasou a cidade, seguido por um terceiro. Lisboa, uma das capitais mais imponentes da Europa, foi destruída em menos de 15 minutos. Então um tsunami arrastou milhares de pessoas e um vento implacável espalhou os focos de incêndio provocados pelos tremores. O jornalista Nicholas Shrady revela, em O Último Dia do Mundo, que a reação ao desastre natural, mais do que a tragédia em si, é o que ainda hoje provoca grande fascínio. O terremoto em Portugal, na capital mais católica do continente, abalou as certezas intelectuais e religiosas que na época dominavam a Europa do Iluminismo. Até 1755, as aflições que a natureza impunha sobre a humanidade eram consideradas obra de um Deus furioso - o homem estava pagando por seus pecados e fraquezas. Após a catástrofe, o lugar de Deus nas relações humanas começou a ser questionado. Voltaire, Pope, Kant e Rousseau, entre outras figuras eminentes, fizeram do acontecimento um veículo para expressar suas ideias iluministas. O grande terremoto e a subsequente reconstrução de Lisboa também deram origem a reformas sociais e econômicas memoráveis, ao planejamento urbano moderno e ao nascimento da sismologia. "Perante o monumental alcance da destruição, o rei, que tinha 40 anos de idade e era mais propenso aos tons estrondosos da ópera e à alegria da caça do que ao trabalho obstinado de governar seu reino, estava perplexo. Mensageiros chegaram durante toda a manhã, trazendo relatos cada vez mais explícitos das cenas infernais de terror e ruína, do incalculável número de mortos e da chegada do Apocalipse. Impotente, ele fez exatamente o que nenhum monarca jamais deveria fazer: encolheu-se de medo", escreve o autor. No entanto, o Estado português, com a ajuda do Santo Ofício da Inquisição, se esforçava para garantir que as mentes portuguesas não fossem influenciadas por ideais que pudessem abalar sua fé. Somente um pequeno grupo parecia prestar atenção nas inovações que emergiam em países como França e Inglaterra. Entre esses esclarecidos, estava José de Carvalho e Melo, a quem o rei confiou a reconstrução de Lisboa: "Levado à presença do rei, Carvalho ficou chocado com a cena de confusão e piedosas invocações, e por ver o monarca num estado tão evidente de angústia. O diálogo que se seguiu teve enorme significado e definiu a resposta para a crise com a precisão de um aforismo. - O que deve ser feito para enfrentar esta imposição da justiça divina? - perguntou o rei. - Enterrar os mortos e alimentar os vivos - respondeu Carvalho. A declaração era exatamente o que o rei prostrado desejava ouvir." Em O Último Dia do Mundo, o autor revela como, inspirado nos grandes filósofos iluministas da época, Carvalho fez com que a razão triunfasse sobre o obscurantismo religioso. Assim, enquanto muitos rezavam, ele rapidamente enviou tropas para apagar o fogo, buscar sobreviventes em meio às ruínas e controlar os saqueadores. Lisboa seria reconstruída, e ressurgiria como uma cidade moderna, de ruas largas, com sistemas de esgoto e escoamento adequados.; 288 pages.
