In a context in which numerous books, guides and a lot of peer‑reviewed articles are dedicated to the Vesuvius, writing a new (eruptive) history of the Somma‑Vesuvius is a great challenge; Alwyn Scarth, with his new book, faces this challenge with a peculiar style. The main theme developed by Scarth is the relationship between the Vesuvius and people (Campanians and, more specifically, Neapolitans) and how history itself is indebted towards the volcano.

In a context in which numerous books, guides and a lot of peer‑reviewed articles are dedicated to the Vesuvius, writing a new (eruptive) history of the Somma‑Vesuvius is a great challenge; Alwyn Scarth, with his new book, faces this challenge with a peculiar style. The main theme developed by Scarth is the relationship between the Vesuvius and people (Campanians and, more specifically, Neapolitans) and how history itself is indebted towards the volcano.File in questo prodotto:
