Summary: "Naples, Past and Present" by Arthur H. Norway is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as both a travel narrative and a reflective exploration of Naples, focusing on its ancient history, cultural significance, and the beauty of its surroundings. The book combines vivid descriptions of the landscape with historical anecdotes, presenting a tapestry of knowledge about the city through time. At the start of the narrative, the author recounts his arrival at Naples by sea on a spring morning, describing the stunning panorama as he approaches the Bay of Naples. He reflects on the mythical and historical significance of the region, referencing the sirens, ancient mariners, and the treasures of the past that have shaped Naples. As he sights the island of Ischia and recalls tales from classical literature, Norway sets the tone for a journey that will intertwine the physical beauty of Naples with its rich historical heritage. The opening chapter establishes a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting readers to explore both the picturesque and the tragic elements of this ancient city.
