In the northeast coast of Japan, in March 2011, one of the worst recorded earthquakes was experienced, causing the outbreak of a tsunami composed of waves that reached a height of 40 meters approximately. The British correspondent of The Times, Richard Lloyd Parry, was during such a catastrophe in Japan, being able to record and report what happened and experienced by the surviving inhabitants, as well as the effects of such a natural disaster, publishing all that information in the book entitled Ghosts of the Tsunami. Death and life in Japan’s disaster zone (2017).
