The first two chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers. The six remaining chapters discuss several clearly-defined genres: historical novels with pagan tendencies, and those with Christians and Jews as protagonists, contemporary adventures, time traveling, mock manuscripts, and works dedicated to Vesuvius. \"Pompeii's Ashes\" demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and continue until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Moormann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1614518858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614518853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 1.20d","brand":"Eric Moormann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088648876287,"sku":"9781614518853","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b509be9b-a154-4fd0-946b-20708f7f0c63.jpg?v=1769105908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pompeiis-ashes-eric-moormann-9781614518853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
