Drama and darkness are often associated with the city, which rests beneath active Mount Vesuvius and is the home of the Camorra - its version of the mafia. But beyond this, Naples reveals itself to be one of the most historically and culturally vibrant cities in Europe. From its origins in Homer's \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and its founding nearly 3,000 years ago, Naples has long attracted travellers, artists and foreign rulers - from the visitors of \u003ci\u003eThe Grand Tour\u003c\/i\u003e to Goethe, Nelson, Dickens and Neruda. The stunning beauty of its natural setting coupled with the charms of its colourful past and lively present - from the ruins of Pompeii to the glittering performances of the San Carlo opera house - continue to seduce all those who explore Naples today. \u003ci\u003eIn the Shadow of Vesuvius\u003c\/i\u003e is a sparkling portrait of the city - the definitive companion for anyone seeking to delve beneath its surface.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJordan Lancaster\u003c\/b\u003e has studied at the universities of Cambridge and Bologna and holds a Ph.D. in Italian Studies from the University of Toronto.
