Letters from a Mourning City

""Letters From A Mourning City: Naples, Autumn, 1884"" is a collection of letters written by Axel Munthe during his stay in Naples in the autumn of 1884. Munthe was a Swedish physician and writer who had a deep love for Naples and its people. The letters in this book are a reflection of his experiences and observations during a time of great mourning in the city. In 1884, Naples was struck by a deadly cholera epidemic that claimed thousands of lives. Munthe witnessed the devastation firsthand and his letters provide a vivid and emotional account of the tragedy. He describes the suffering of the people, the efforts of the medical community to contain the disease, and the impact of the epidemic on the city's social and cultural life. Munthe also writes about his personal experiences in Naples, including his encounters with local people, his travels around the city, and his reflections on the beauty and history of Naples. The book is a poignant and powerful tribute to a city in crisis and a testament to Munthe's deep affection for Naples and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
