Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into London's underbelly during the reign of the Stuarts. The author takes readers through the catastrophic events that shaped London, from the plague that killed an estimated 100,000 to the Great Fire that destroyed 13,200 homes. Alongside these tragedies, this book explores London's restoration and rebuilding, particularly through the ingenious architectural designs of Sir Christopher Wren. With his creation of St. Paul's Cathedral and dozens of other London churches, Wren's vision and labor laid the foundation for a new era in the city's history.
