For thousands of years, earthquakes have terrified human beings—seen first as the footsteps of angry gods, the rage of monstrous serpents beneath the earth, or the punishment of forgotten sins. As civilizations evolved, so did their stories. Earthquakes became symbols of trauma, cultural memory, political collapse, and human resilience.
This groundbreaking book travels across continents, centuries, and cultures to uncover how humanity has imagined, feared, narrated, and artistically represented earthquakes—from ancient mythologies to modern scientific realities.
