Example in this ebookTHE ARRIVAL AT NAPLES"See that smoking mountain, Molly! Look! I believe it is a volcano. It is Mount Vesuvius. Yes, I know it is Mount Vesuvius!"May, the Sunbonnet Baby, was talking with Molly, her little Sunbonnet Baby sister. They were standing on the deck of a great ocean steamer. They had been sailing on the steamer for days and days. They had sailed more than four thousand miles away from their home in America. Now they were almost at the end of their journey. They would very soon be in Italy.The big steamer was moving slowly up the beautiful Bay of Naples, straight toward the 10 busy, noisy city of Naples. Rising from the shore, not far away, was the smoking mountain of Vesuvius, about which the Sunbonnet Babies' father had told them such strange stories.He told them that Mount Vesuvius was like a great kettle full of boiling rock, that sometimes the fire under the kettle becomes so hot it boils over, covering the mountain sides and even the plains with melted rock and hot ashes. Such mountains, he said, are called volcanoes.Molly and May stood on the deck of the steamer eagerly watching the smoking volcano, wondering if it would ever boil over again."I almost wish it would boil over now!" cried Molly. "Wouldn't it be wonderful to see red-hot rock come right out of the top of the mountain and fall down all around it!""Yes, it would be wonderful," said May, "but I am sure I don't want to see it. The hot ashes might even reach us here on the steamer.""Father says he will take us to see the old city of Pompeii, which was buried by Vesuvius nearly two thousand years ago. Men 11 are digging away the ashes and cinders now, so we can see just how the people used to live."two babies on boat, one pointing to shore"Pompeii must be right over there near the foot of the mountain," said May. "Isn't it strange to think that those trees and farms may be growing on top of an old, old city?""Look at the big city just ahead of our boat!" cried Molly. "It is Naples. We are almost there!""Why, the city is the shape of a big, new moon," said May. "It curves right around 12 the shore of this lovely, blue bay, and climbs up the hillside to meet the blue sky. Our boat is sailing straight in between the long points.""O May! Do you suppose it is snowing at home to-day? It seems like summer here, but it is really the middle of March. The trees and the grass are all green. And there is a boat full of oranges and lemons just being unloaded.""See that basketful of beautiful roses! I hope we can go ashore quickly. I want to buy a lovely red rose for mother to wear."Not many minutes later the happy travelers were hurrying from the big steamer. There were other travelers going ashore, too, and a crowd of noisy, jolly people seemed to be waiting for them. Most of the women and little girls were bareheaded and wore gay-colored dresses and aprons. They were very much interested in the strange travelers, especially in the two little Sunbonnet Babies.A smiling, brown-eyed Italian girl ran along beside them, peeping at the two happy faces hidden under the big sunbonnets, and talking very fast in a soft, sweet voice.The Sunbonnet Babies could not understand one word she said, but they knew she liked them because she smiled so sweetly.If it had not been for this kind little girl, Molly and May might easily have been frightened. A great many men and boys were standing close about them shouting and swinging their arms, trying to get passengers for their carriages. Even the Sunbonnet Babies' father did not quite know what to do, so many men wanted to carry his bags for him.To be continue in this ebook.................................................................................

About the Book Italy's history is discussed in numerous texts. The ancient Greeks, Etruscans and Celts all established settlements in Italy, but the Italic tribe called the Latins formed the city of Rome as a Kingdom, which eventually became a Republic that united all of Italy by the third century BC. The Roman Empire eventually emerged as the dominant power of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea due to the military victories of generals such as Scipio, Aemilius Paullus, Scipio Aemilianus, Gaius Marius, Lucius Sulla, Pompey and Julius Caesar. However, the Western Roman Empire collapsed due to barbarian invasions in 476, when Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustus. Subsequently, the Italian peninsula was conquered by the Goths, the Byzantines and the Lombards, until Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor in 800 in Rome. The crusades launched by Pope Urban II and his successors boosted economic activity, causing the European economy to shift from agriculture to trade, which resulted in the banking industry and the first universities to appear in the west. During the Renaissance, Italy was at the forefront of philosophy, art, science and exploration, producing outstanding figures such as Leonardo, Dante, Giotto, Marco Polo, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, and Galileo. After the Holy League fended off Ottoman expansion, parts of Italy came under Napoleonic and Hapsburg control. Also in this Book Ancient Greek drama flourished from 700 BC, particularly in Athens, where it was incorporated in a festival called the Dionysia, honouring the god Dionysus. There emerged the tragedy (late 500 BC), the comedy (490 BC), and the satyr play. Theater also came to occupy an important component of Roman society, as it became the primary means through which political emotions could be expressed during the republican and imperial periods. Works by Plautus, Terence, and Seneca the Younger survive to this day. Medieval drama refers to the period between the fall of the Western Roman Empire (5th century A.D.) and the Renaissance beginning in the 15th century A.D., and includes genres such as liturgical drama, mystery plays, morality plays, farces and masques.And in this Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
