ISBN: 9798182748063 - the last morning in st. pierre: the 1902 mont pelee eruption that destroyed a city in minutes (8 resultados)

Condición: New.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. On the morning of May 8, 1902, church bells rang over St. Pierre as ash drifted through the streets and Mont Pelee smoked above the city. Minutes later, the Paris of the Antilles was gone. In a single, unimaginable burst, a black cloud of fire and stone erased one of the Caribbean's richest ports and killed nearly 29,000 people. How could an entire city watch disaster gathering overhead - and still remain where it was?The Last Morning in St. Pierre reconstructs those fatal days with the pace of a thriller and the weight of history. Here are the politicians determined to preserve order during a tense election, the experts whose reassurances kept families in place, the refugees who fled the countryside only to crowd into the doomed city, and the few astonishing survivors, including a prisoner sealed inside a cell as the world outside turned to flame. As warnings mount - from sulfur in the air to boiling mud in the Riviere Blanche - the question becomes unbearable: who will leave, who will stay, and who is already trapped?Vivid, scrupulously researched, and driven by the lives of people who faced the mountain in real time, this is both the story of a catastrophe and the story of why human beings so often fail to act before the worst occurs. The result is unforgettable: a lost city, a deadly lesson, and a history that still feels terrifyingly present. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
