Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Men Who Found Out: Stories of Great Scientific Discoverers
They lived in white cities on the sides of mountains that Sloped down to the Mediterranean Sea. It was a very blue sea, and the mountains in the distance looked mauve. Deep valleys, full of cypress trees and myrtle thickets where nightingales sang, ran between the mountains. The climate was warm, and people could live mostly out of doors. They had honey, and goat's milk, and olives, and wine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
