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.

Download or read book Empire of Ruins written by Miles Orvell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 256 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.

Download or read book The Mirage of Two Buried Cities Classic Reprint written by John Fletcher Horne and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mirage of Two Buried Cities Four years ago a brochure was published entitled The Buried Cities of Vesuvius, Herculaneum and Pompeii. The very favourable reception accorded to it, and the circumstance that the edition then issued has been exhausted, have encouraged me to revise it, to fill in certain lacun, and to extend it, until it has grown into what is practically a new and much larger work. As to the new title, the captious critic may say that a "bull" has been perpetrated; for how could there be a mirage from what is buried? The reader will realize that I have used the word "mirage" purely in a figurative sense; as the traveller sees the glimmer of cool water and the tall columns of the palm rising in the midst of the African waste, so, I trust, may the reader, as he passes through these pages, behold the bare ruins of which I have to speak clad in a semblance of their former brightness and beauty. A mirage, though it be mocking, is yet a true representation of that which does exist: therefore I hope that I may be able in like manner to conjure up a vision - true, if sometimes blurred - of that which once lived. With many a noteworthy precedent before me, I have not scrupled, as far as my subject needed, to extract a number of instructive and interesting passages from the most trustworthy sources of information; as Montaigne said, "I make others say for me what, either for want of language or want of sense, I cannot so well express."

And finally, Herod's Temple, larger and more magnificent than the others, which had been forty-six years in progress when Jesus spake in it of its final destruo tion, which came with Titus and the Romans; and of all its precious and beautiful furniture and sacred vessels, there remains only a time-worn sculpture of the Candlestick and the crumbling Triumphal Arch of Titus at Rome.'
