Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Two opera libretti focusing on the theme of the fiery sacrifice of
the protagonists. HERCULANEUM, by Joseph Mery, a friend of
Alexandre Dumas, is set in 79 A.D. in the doomed city of
Herculaneum. Olympia, an oriental queen, sister of the Proconsul
Nicanor, falls in love with Helios, a Christian. The queen seduces
Helios and takes him from his betrothed, Lilia. Nicanor then tries
to seduce and rape Lilia, but is thwarted when Mount Vesuvius
erupts. The Christians die happy, believing that they are saved.
SARDANAPALUS, by Henri Becque, is a powerful retelling of the fall
of Assyria, and the immolation of its last king in the ruins of his
capital city. Two French tragedies of love and life in the
classical period.
