Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Own Pompeii, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance of Tomorrow For to Mr Smythe (he called himself Smythe, though his real name was Smith) the idea of forming "The Pompeii Club" was due. It was to be quite unique: a grand international affair, with committees in London, Paris, Vienna, Rome, and New York, to elect its members. It was to be housed in a lovely little city of its very own - built especially for it, in imitation of the classical one, but without a too slavish following of the original. Health, comfort, and exquisite beauty were to mingle in its ideal perfection. Nestling beneath the deep wooded hills - washed by the Mediterranean ripples - it would seem an earthly Paradise of mosaic and marble, of snug chambers and noble halls, of tiny streets and breezy spaces, planned by the best architects, and filled with the brilliant life of choice and charming people.
