Carta al autor de Pompeya
Castellar de Vallés, 10th
of April, 2014
Dear Mr. Robert Harris,
We are high school students in Castellar Del
Vallès, Barcelona (Spain). We are currently in grade 4, which would be year 11
in the British system. The reason why we are writing to you is because we are
doing a research project on your book Pompeii in an interdisciplinary approach between
the subjects: Latin, Spanish literature and geology.
All the students have read your book and it has
impressed us a lot, because some of us have travelled to Pompeii and we have
observed its remans in great detail.
Thanks to your bibliography, we know that part
of your work is located at the time of the Empire, therefore we have learnt
aspects of classical culture from your novels. Your book has been an excellent
source of information, as well as a great source of inspiration for us.
We are aware of your interest in volcanology,
because in the novel we read fragments from works dealing with this subject.
Our project, still in progress, can be followed
in our web page:
There, we have included a section where you can
add comments.
We would be really pleased if you visited our
site and left us a comment. It would be highly appreciated and we would be very
thankful.
Yours sincerely,
Teachers and students of this project.
