" En visitant ces cités antiques, dont les vestiges exhumés attirent le voya-geur aux abords de Naples, peut-être plus que, tout à la fois, la brumedélicieuse, le soleil sans nuage, les vallées violettes et les orangeraies duSud ; en contemplant, frais et éclatant encore, les demeures, les rues, lestemples et les théâtres d¿une localité de l¿âge le plus fier de l¿Empire ro-main ; il n¿est rien d¿anormal à ce que l¿écrivain qui s¿était déjà efforcé,fût-ce de manière indigne, de revivifier et créer, désirât vivement repeu-pler une fois encore ces rues désertes, restaurer ces ruines élégantes etréanimer des ossements encore cachés à son regard, traversant ainsi ungouffre de dix-huit siècles et éveillant à une seconde existence la Cité dela Mort !"

The Coming Race is a novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published anonymously in 1871. It has also been published as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race. Edward Bulwer-Lytton's book is ostensibly a work of Science Fiction. It deals with an underground race of advanced beings, masters of Vril energy - a strange power that can both heal and destroy - who intend to leave their subterranean existence and conquer the world. But the book has been seen by many as a barely concealed account of Hidden Wisdom, a theory that has attracted many strange bedfellows, including the French author Louis Jacolliot, the Polish explorer Ferdinand Ossendowsky, and Adolf Hitler.
