By Permission of Heaven
Autor Adrian Tinniswooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2004
A dynamic recounting of the horror that gripped London in 1666 after a small baker's fire erupted and spread, destroying 13,200 homes, 93 churches, St. Paul's Cathedral, and every administrative building in the capital. Looting, savage violence, panic, and chaos reigned, but what happened in the fire's wake was even more extraordinary.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
There had, of course, been other fires, Four Hundred and fifty years before, the city had almost burned to the ground. In five days that small fire would devastate the third largest city in the Western world. It pieces together the untold human story of the Fire and its aftermath - the panic, the search for scapegoats, and the rebirth of a city.
