Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pompeii The present work forms the first of a series of volumes published under the general title of "Famous Art Cities." The second, (by Dr. Gustav Pauli), treats of Venice; its immediate successors will deal with Florence and Nuremberg. Rome, Siena, Ravenna and Cairo will represent a continuation. Whoever visits Pompeii for the first time will not grudge a corner beside his guide-book for a Vademecum such as this, which offers the inspiration of the Genius loci to the traveller of artistic tastes. As the one meets his material needs, so the other ministers to the intellectual interests of the man of education, and may, at a later time, preserve or renew in the liveliest fashion his remembrance of what he has seen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pompeii, Its Life and Art The restorations are not fanciful. They were made with the help of careful measurements and of computations based upon the existing remains; Occasionally also evidence derived from reliefs and wall paintings was utilized. Uncertain details are generally omitted. It is due to Professor Mau to say that in preparing his manu script for English readers I have, with his permission, made some changes. The order Of presentation has occasionally been altered. In several chapters the German manuscript has been abridged, while in others, containing points in regard to which English readers might desire a somewhat fuller statement, I have made slight additions. The preparation of the English form of the volume, undertaken for reasons Of friendship, has been less a task than a pleasure.

Download or read book The Last Days of Pompeii And the Disowned Classic Reprint written by Edward Bulwer Lytton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 982 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Days of Pompeii, And, the Disowned Writing the work almost on the spot, and amidst a popala tion that still preserve a strong family likeness to their classic forefathers, I could scarcely fail to catch something of those living colors which mere book-study alone would not have sufficed to bestow. It is, I suspect, to this acci dental advantage that this work is principally indebted for a greater popularity than has hitherto attended the attempts of scholars to create an interest, by fictitious narrative, in the manners and persons of a classic age. Perhaps, too, the writers I allude to, and of whose labors I would speak with the highest respect, did not sufficiently remember that in works of imagination the description of manners, however important as an accessory, must still be subordinate to the vital elements of interest; namely, plot, character, and passion. And in reviving the ancient shadows they have rather sought occasion to display erudition than to show how the human heart beats the same, whether under the Grecian tunic or the Roman toga. It is this, indeed, which distinguishes the imitators of classic learning from the classic literature itself. For in classic literature there is no want of move ment and passion, - oi all the more animated elements of what we now call Romance. Indeed, romance itself, as we take it from the Middle Ages, owes much to Grecian fable. Many of the adventures of knight-errantry are bor rowed either from the trials of Ulysses or the achieve ments of Theseus. And while Homer, yet unrestored to his throne among the poets, was only known to the litera ture of early chivalry in a spurious or grotesque form, the genius of Gothic fiction was constructing many a tale for Northern wonder from the mutilated fragments of the divine old tale-teller.

Download or read book The Vestal written by Thomas Gray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vestal: Or a Tale of Pompeii At the outset of a tale like the following, it seems proper to state in what particulars actual facts have been departed from. In the description of places and things, I have rigidly followed the facts, as ascertained by the most accurate description that could be obtained on the spot, aided by personal examination, except in two instances; viz. there is no temple of Vesta yet discovered, nor are there subterranean passages beneath the city, like the catacombs of Rome and Naples. The house of the Vestals, however, exists there precisely as described. The house of Diomedes is the first show non entering the street of tombs, and is well known to all who have visited this most interesting city. The forums, the temples, the tombs, the houses, are precisely as described. I have altered no inscriptions, and have changed no names. Pompeii as she now is, has sat for the portrait of what she once was. In the house of Diomedes, and the sepulchral chamber of Saturninus, as will he noticed, I have even retained the actual names of the owners; and in the houses that I have had occasion to describe, I have selected particular ones, which will be readily recognised by those who have visited Pompeii. A more minute account of those houses will be found in the notes. The theatres, the amphitheatre, the prisons, the quarters of the soldiers, the basilica, - all in short are unchanged from the facts.
