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.

埃及真是个神奇的国家
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。
评分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。
