Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ruined Cities of the East Though the human race undoubtedly sprang from one parent pair, there have been various centres, at different periods of man's history, from -which fresh influences or new impulses proceeded, to quicken progress, - to emancipate or to enslave, - to conquer and crush, or to elevate and advance. One Of these centres was that section Of Europe in which the seven churches OF asia were placed. For centuries a bright light radiated thence into the surrounding regions, and though that light has long been extinguished, the friends Of truth still love to linger among the scenes where it shone; to ponder on the moral darkness which now envelops everything there; and to wonder when the fulness of time shall come, when the truth which came from heaven to illumine every land shall Shine on those regions again. Somewhat in that spirit we are now to consider the present condition Of two Of these ancient centres Of' light, Ephesus and Sardis. Were we merely to describe the events mentioned in Scripture regarding Ephesus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ruins of Bible Cities: Their Scenes and Associations The Ruins of Ancient Cities are the stand-points of history, and the demonstrations of its truth. They present a pictured chronicle of great events, and of the habits and customs of nations that have long since passed away. The present century has been remark able for the unexpected discoveries of such ruins. Those discoveries have been made in the East and in the West, in the Old World and in the New. In Italy - to say nothing of Herculaneum and Pompeii, partly unshrouded before this century commenced Etruria presents the remains of a people who had attained a high degree of civilisation before even Rome herself was founded. On the northern coast of Africa, Carthage, once the rival of Rome, has been uncovered. In Mexico and Peru we have been startled to find remains, which, in design and execution, strikingly resemble those that had astonished us in the East.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Ruins of Ancient Cities (Vol. I of II): Look inside the book: This resolution having passed unanimously, another assembly was called, in which they chose fifty of the wisest and most ancient of the citizens, but who at the same time had vigour enough left to execute what should have been determined; and they were made to take an oath, in presence ofPg 3 all the inhabitants, that the instant they saw the enemy master of the inner wall they should kill the women and children, set fire to the galleys laden with their effects, and throw into the sea all the gold and silver which they had heaped together. ...There are many otherPg 6 places, says Plutarch, where his corpse is said to have been deposited; but Abydus and Memphis are mentioned in particular as having the true body; and for this reason the rich and powerful of the Egyptians were desirous of being buried in the former of these two cities, in order to lie, as it were, in the same grave with Osiris himself.
Download or read book Empire of Ruins written by Miles Orvell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2021 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once symbols of the past, ruins have become ubiquitous signs of our future. Americans today encounter ruins in the media on a daily basis--images of abandoned factories and malls, toxic landscapes, devastating fires, hurricanes, and floods. In this sweeping study, Miles Orvell offers a new understanding of the spectacle of ruins in US culture, exploring how photographers, writers, painters, and filmmakers have responded to ruin and destruction, both real and imaginary, in an effort to make sense of the past and envision the future. Empire of Ruins explains why Americans in the nineteenth century yearned for the ruins of Rome and Egypt and how they portrayed a past as ancient and mysterious in the remains of Native American cultures. As the romance of ruins gave way to twentieth-century capitalism, older structures were demolished to make way for grander ones, a process interpreted by artists as a symptom of America's "creative destruction." In the late twentieth century, Americans began to inhabit a perpetual state of ruins, made visible by photographs of decaying inner cities, derelict factories and malls, and the waste lands of the mining industry. This interdisciplinary work focuses on how visual media have transformed disaster and decay into spectacles that compel our moral attention even as they balance horror and beauty. Looking to the future, Orvell considers the visual portrayal of climate ruins as we face the political and ethical responsibilities of our changing world. A wide-ranging work by an acclaimed urban, cultural, and photography scholar, Empire of Ruins offers a provocative and lavishly illustrated look at the American past, present, and future.
