In 2011, the world's eyes were on Egypt, as revolution swept across the country. But what lay below the surface of events was harder to see. Living in Cairo, over the following years award-winning writer Peter Hessler set out to uncover the everyday lives and archaeological secrets of a country in turmoil.
From the protests in Tahrir square, to Egypt's first democratic elections, and on to the massacres, the coup and its aftermath, The Buried follows the ongoing events of the Arab Spring while also exploring the social forces and historical context behind it. At its heart lies human stories: iconoclastic Pharaoh Akhenaten, rubbish collector Saeed, Arabic teacher Rifaat, Chinese lingerie salesmen and resourceful archaeologists. Together, they raise the question: is revolution just repetition, or can things really change?
Through extraordinary first-hand reporting and deep research, Hessler brings to light the relationship between the ancient past and the contemporary condition, the political and the personal, to create an unforgettable work of literary and documentary brilliance.
Peter Hessler is a staff writer at the New Yorker, where he served as Beijing correspondent from 2000-2007, and is also a contributing writer for National Geographic. He is the author of River Town, which won the Kiriyama Book Prize, Oracle Bones, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, Country Driving and Strange Stones. He won the 2008 National Magazine Award for excellence in reporting.
可以看出来他到最后真的很失望。
评分有些部分挺有趣的,但是作者已经无可挽回地进入了自我复制的写作阶段。
评分通过形形色色的人与事零距离观察埃及社会,比如街区附近捡破烂的人、同性恋者、语言老师、社会运动参与者、政治家、考古学者、在那做生意的中国人、在国外的埃及人等等,历史与现实纠葛,这个古老的文明该何去何从。
评分最值的有声书,Hessler自己读的....脑残粉必入。写作手法上类似于江城和寻路中国的结合,聚焦在平民的生活,同时穿插学习新语言的经历,有小故事有人物侧写有不带感情色彩的描述。可以说是“套路”,但是读者如我还是非常受用。不过还是要买一本实体书,听有声书跟看Kindle一样,有阅读快感但是有时候缺乏big picture。

断断续续的读这本书有一个月,中间还去了趟巴基斯坦,今天全部看完。看短评里有读者说感动的想哭,我心想看这个都想哭,那读完甲骨文还了得。在这个阴霾的下午,写下这篇东西记录此刻的心情。 很喜欢读何伟的书,在他们一家去了埃及以后,还时不时的在网络寻找他的动向。关于Sa...
评分 评分这次跟着何伟不再是立足于中国社会,而是带着读者,作为一个outsider, 跨到古老国度埃及,去看那个一次次改革失败,人们愤恨这种结构,但是人人又是这个观念的维护者,最后整个社会陷入无组织无秩序状态。 同性恋Manu在伊斯兰教盛行的埃及备受欺凌,最后逃亡德国,Sayyid 一个...
评分 评分“Ancient Egyptians had words for two different kinds of time: djet and neheh. These terms cannot be translated into English, and it may be impossible for them to be grasped by the modern mind. In our world, time is a straight line, and one event leads to a...
