Queen of the Sea: a History of Lisbon

About This Novel

Lisbon, the Portuguese capital with a history of 2,000 years, has had its glory days and its dark days. The 1755 earthquake and the resulting tsunami and fires caused heavy scars to this ancient city "trapped between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean." The story of Lisbon is one of rising from the ashes of disaster. Barry Hutton, a British journalist who has lived in Lisbon for more than 30 years, uses his deep love for the city and his poetic and friendly writing style to lead readers on a stroll through the streets and alleys of Lisbon, exploring the clues and information left by historical relics to the present day, and getting a glimpse of the past and present of the Portuguese Empire.
