Volcanos-Last Days of Pompeii


A famous novel Written by Edward BulWer-Lytton in 1834 based on a Russian painting he found in Milan was the story of A blind flower selling Girl Nydya who could not achieve her love .the story revolves in different directions as usual & finally ends up in the suicide of Nydya.Thereafter the city of Pompeiiwas destroyed by the eruption of a volcano called Mount VesuVius This was a story similar to the Kannaki of Tamil Naadu. The novel Was later on published in February 2006 also which is available on net to read. Why all of a sudden the Valcono came in to pictures a reasonably good question. Before trying to answering this question ,there is a confusion over 2 cities in the World SANTIAGO& SAN DIEGO The former is in chile while the later is in California USA. THERE is one Volcano in the border of Chille & Argentina called Copahue.this Volcano has started Emiting smoke continuously & people in the adjoining areas are being evacuated.The area is now on red alert. This volcano is around 10,000 feet high.This volcano is acive & had activity in December last. She had a major eruption in the year2002. This time until now there is no emitting of Ash .The emitting of Ash is very dangerous forJet Engines of Aircrafts. The turbine Engines could develop Problems if the Ash enters the Engine because the Ash has property of getting melted in the Turbo engines which could damage parts of the Engine. This position mentioned above is as on the 27th of May 20013. The confusion of the name of the 2 cities is a matter of slight concern for those happened to know about this news. This News has not got enough publicity until now.

  1. The Last Days of Pompeii was a language book in my college syllabus.Either preUniversity or degree.
    That book had made an imprint in me since those days.recently during an exhibition of Books by Mathrubhumi at TCR, I explored the possibility of finding the book.but in vain.Later on tried in some of the bookshops at EKM& TVM.Again futile.
    While searching net for it I not only got the book but yet another news about volcano.this Volcano name itself indicate a God of Fire .
    This is how Copahue I came across. After reading the book Last Days of Pompeii ,a revised Blog is in the offing
