Inhaltsangabe
The infernos of 1421 and 1452 reduced the medieval city to rubble. In 1772, fire destroyed the Schouwburg; in 1890, it was the Stadsschouwburg; and in 1929, the Paleis voor Volksvlijt was reduced to smoldering ruins. The tragedy at Hotel Polen in 1977 claimed dozens of lives and shook the city once more.Major Fires in Amsterdam tells the compelling stories behind these disasters. How did city officials and firefighters respond? How did residents try to salvage what they could? And how did destruction repeatedly create unexpected opportunities for renewal?Drawing on chronicles, newspapers, and eyewitness accounts, the reader is immersed in the turbulent history of a city that had to reinvent itself time and again. Amsterdam, it turns out, is built not only on water and stone, but also marked by ash and fire.
