An account of the cataclysmic mid-eighteenth-century earthquake also discusses how its related tidal waves, fires, and aftershocks rocked the western world, prompting intellectual debates about the natural world and God's place in human affairs as theorized by such Enlightenment figures as Voltaire, Alexander Pope, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. 30,000 first printing.
