Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Neapolitan Lovers British subjects all the world over, being familiar with the life of Nelson, will remember that having won the battle of the Nile and so blocked up Bonaparte and his army in Egypt, he returned to Naples in the poor wretched Vanguard, as he described his vessel, sighting the city on 22nd September, 1798. Dumas opens the present romance on the following day when Ferdinand IV., King of the Two Sicilies, and his Queen Maria Carolina, sister of Marie Antoinette; Caracciolo, accompanied by the British Minister, Sir William Hamilton with his celebrated wife who were also in the royal galley, came out into the bay of Naples to meet the saviour of Italy, as the Queen called our greatest Admiral. Three months later, almost day for day, after that brilliant and joyous reception on the water. Nelson, on a wild, stormy night, secretly and stealthily embarked King Ferdinand, his family and courtiers in three barges, and having thus transported them on board the Vanguard, conveyed them from Naples to Palermo. What had occurred during these three months? Why this royal flight in the dead of night under the protection of Nelson?
