His style takes a bit of getting used to, but it is refreshing in its purity. This book is unabashedly a moral tale; the end result of evil is destruction. Good overcomes. I liked this clear distinction.His description of the eruption itself suffers because, of course, nobody knew at the time he wrote it what actually caused the rapid and total obliteration of the city. They didn't know of pyroclastic flows, but this is easily ignored.I don't need a pictorial; I've seen pictures of Pompeii from other sources. My imagination was more that enough to provide visuals. Pompeii is just the setting of the story. The author isn't attempting to be an architect or socialogist or archaeologist.As to this story as a pitch for Christianity-this is book is mild. I've read many well-known classic books advocating Christianity with a heavier hand than this. In fact, the author chides Christians of his own time more than once through this story for their lack of tolerance (old use of this word) for those of other faiths whom they wish to convert.Shipping Weight: 2 lbs<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< see all other makes and models in our ebay store (Click here other items) all categories on left.
