The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock.\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;A couple of hundred years ago, on a quiet Indonesian island, a volcano called Tambora erupted with a force and violence that changed history.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;It tore apart the island, and in the months and years that followed, its fallout tore apart the world. The sun refused to shine; the rain refused to stop. Everything that everyone assumed would always be there—a world that made sense, a climate that made sense—was suddenly gone.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;From this riot of thunder and lightning, a young woman named Mary Shelley conceived of a scientist and his cursed creature. From the nightmare of Tambora, she wrote a nightmare of a book: \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Frankenstein\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;—a terrifying reminder of how much damage we humans might do, without even realizing it.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;This is the story of a volcano that changed the world and a creature that changed us.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Once upon a time, everything was different. And no one knew if it would ever be the same.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In this masterful work, Nicholas Day, author of the Sibert Award–winning \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Mona Lisa Vanishes\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;, brings us a story taken from the archives but seemingly scripted for us today: a tale of climate change and human folly and hope—and what happens when the world suddenly goes wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47085293535401,"sku":"PHBK-9780593643877","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/9428563482399.jpg?v=1779809087","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/world-without-summer","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
