Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sun and Shadow in Spain: With Pictures From Photographs and Frontispiece in Color
N e plus ultra, said Hercules, as he wrapped his lion's skin about him and set sail for Libya to call on Atlas. Every time you write the sign for the dollar you draw the Columns of Hercules and the scroll for his parting words, N e plus ultra.
Carthage was here! The poor Carthaginians built a tower on Calpe, to watch for the dreaded Roman galleys sweeping down from Ostia, while in Rome's senate implacable Cato thundered his eternal Delenda est Carthago. Of course the Romans were here, it is impossible to escape them; wherever you travel in Europe or Africa you are always meeting those grave ghosts!
