Vesuvius, looming over the Bay of Naples,
is the most famous volcano in the world.
Ever since the cataclysm of AD
79,
which
destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, it
exerted extraordinary fascination on
everyone who encountered it. Vesuvius is
unquestionably a Wonder of the World.
In this wide-ranging and stimulating account
Gillian Darley tells how from antiquity
onwards,Vesuvius has been speculated upon,
admired and feared. A remarkable parade of
people
—
among them Mozart, Goethe,
Mme
de Staël,
the
Shelleys, Mary Somerville,
Sigmund Freud and Andy Warhol -
have all
in
their many ways celebrated the only active
volcano on the European mainland. Pliny the
Elder, Sir William Hamilton and Charles Lyell
found clues to the origins of the planet itself
from their close study of Vesuvius. For some
observers its unpredictability mirrored
politics, for others it threw light on
unsuspected regions of the human psyche.
For others still, it was simply the greatest
show on earth.
Every generation has rediscovered Vesuvius,
and now we await its next move. Since the
most recent eruption in
1944
rampant
modern development has overtaken the lower
slopes. The region awaits an inevitable
catastrophe against which even
San Gennaro,
patron saint of Naples, will be powerless. As
Charles Dickens said,Vesuvius is 'the genius of
the scene
.
biding its terrible time.'
