Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Buried Cities of Campania: Or Pompeii and Herculaneum, Their History, Their Destruction, and Their Remains Shakspeare makes Malcolm say of the Thane of Cawdor, that "nothing in his life became him like the leaving it." Of Pompeii it may be said, that nothing in its history is equal in interest to its last scene. The fate of the gay Campanian city has been curious. Some cities have secured enduring fame by their commercial opulence, like Tyre; by their art-wonders, like Athens; by their world-wide power, like Rome; or their gigantic ruins, like Thebes. Of others, scarcely less famous for their wealth and empire, the site is almost forgotten; their very names have almost passed away from the memory of men. But this third-rate provincial town - the "Brighton" or "Scarborough" of the Roman patricians, though less splendid and far less populous than the English watering-places - owes its celebrity to its very destruction.
