Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through the history and landscape of Naples and its surrounding areas. The author draws on the work of earlier travel guides, including the famous itinerary of Vasi, but also incorporates personal observations and insights. This book is more than just a guidebook; itââ â¢s a blend of historical narrative and travelogue, offering a window into the past and present of this fascinating region. The journey begins in Rome, retracing the steps of the Roman poet Horace on his trip to Brindisi. The author interweaves Horaceââ â¢s descriptions of his journey with a commentary on the changing landscape and the history of the sites he encountered. The book then transitions to a contemporary tour of Naples and its environs, focusing on the fascinating and often forgotten history of the Pontine Marshes. The author delves into the attempts of successive Roman emperors and popes to drain these swamps and discusses the monumental challenges and triumphs of this undertaking. The bookââ â¢s thematic depth lies in the juxtaposition of the ancient and the contemporary. By tracing the steps of Horace, the author reveals how the past is woven into the fabric of the present day. The book also explores the enduring human desire to conquer the elements and control nature, a theme that resonates throughout history and continues to inspire innovative solutions today. By connecting the journey of the Roman poet with the ongoing efforts to reclaim the Pontine Marshes, this book provides a unique and insightful perspective on the timeless relationship between humans and the environment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333666194_0
