Excerpt from Ubaldo ed Irene, Vol. 2: Racconti Storici dal 1790 al 1814
Le boscaglie dei larici degli abeti e de' roveri che pigliavano dense e annose interminabili spazii di paese, datovi il fuoco in varii lati, divampavano ruggendo e tonando i mesi interi, che parea s'incendesse il cielo, e la vorticosa fumea scurasse il sole: onde che diboscato il suolo, e di ceneri ricoperto vi mettean dentro gli aratri a rinsolcarlo, e svolgendolo, seminandolo, e rap pianandolo n' aveano in breve stagione tanta copia di grano, che soprabbondando agli abitatori metteano ile gni in mare e mercatavanlo ai vecchi p0p01i dell' Ame rica meridionale. Indi le sue marine e i suoi porti creb bero improvviso al somavvenir delle navi d' Europa, e formarono scale ed emporii tramirabili di ricchezza, d'industria, d'anima e di vita eziandio per le città entro terra, che dal Mississipi dall' Ohio dal Tenessee, dal Missurì, dal Potomac, dal san Lorenzo, e da mill' altre riviere e guadi e canali comunicaron col mare a tras portarvi loro derrate e manifatture.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the decline of the Republic of Venice, once a powerful maritime empire, in relation to the rise of the American Republic. The author argues that both nations experienced distinct youthful periods of vigor but ultimately met very different fates in their old age. The decline of the Venetian Republic is attributed to internal decay, specifically the hidden and secretive machinations of secret societies that undermined the state. In contrast, the American Republic is seen as embodying the ideals of personal liberty, free enterprise, and a dynamic and expanding national identity. The author suggests that these factors have contributed to Americaâs continued vitality and its emergence as a global superpower. The book offers insights into the forces that shape the rise and fall of civilizations and the importance of preserving the values that promote societal strength and longevity.
