Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prisoners and Captives The march of civilization has turned its steps aside from certain portions of the world. Day by day certain southern waters find themselves more and more forsaken. The South Atlantic, the high-road of the world at one time, is now a by-lane. One afternoon, some years ago, the copper-bright rays of a cruel sun burnt the surface of the tepid ocean. The stillness of the atmosphere was phenomenal, even in the latitudes where a great calm reigns from month to month. It is almost impossible to present to northern eyes this picture of a southern sea gleaming beneath a sun which had known no cloud for weeks; impossible to portray the brilliant monotony of it all with any degree of reality to the imagination of those who only know our white-flecked heavens. Those who live up north in the cool "fifties" can scarcely realize the state of an atmosphere where the sun rises day by day, week in week out, unclouded from the straight horizon; sails right overhead, and at last sinks westward undimmed by thinnest vapor. Month after month, year after year, ay! century after century, this day´s work is performed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
