Scopri quali mammiferi preistorici un tempo vivevano lungo il Tamigi. Dai un'occhiata dettagliata al palazzo di cristallo della Grande Esposizione e a una mappa antica della metropolitana. Guarda le posizioni delle fosse comuni medievali della peste, le locande Tudor, le impiccagioni del XVIII secolo e i punti caldi della criminalità organizzata. London: An Illustrated History offre una nuova prospettiva su una delle città più emozionanti del mondo, dai cimiteri dell'età del ferro alle fogne vittoriane, dalle incursioni vichinghe ai raid aerei degli Zeppelin, dai templi romani ai ghetti ebraici, dai bordelli georgiani al Grande incendio, dalle arene romane alle Olimpiadi. Immagini, oggetti e testi di esperti del Museum of London, insieme a mappe vecchie e nuove, fumetti e dipinti contemporanei, sorprendenti manufatti e vivide ricostruzioni di antichi edifici, gettano una nuova luce su tutti gli aspetti della storia in continua evoluzione della città. Invasioni, epidemie, rivolte, pub, santuari, criminalità, gentrificazione, comunità di immigrati, sviluppo urbano e arte sono tutti qui. Le sezioni speciali Sopravvivenze mostrano persino dove sono ancora visibili i resti degli edifici del passato di Londra. La vita quotidiana dei londinesi e la travagliata storia della città prendono vita in questo libro come mai prima d'ora.
