Fascinated by Egypt's rich history, Peter Hessler moved with his family to Cairo just after the Arab Spring had begun.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archaeological dig at a site known as The Buried. In Cairo, he got to know a young gay Egyptian who struggled with pressures from the police and society. Hessler and his wife also struck up a friendship with their Arabic-language instructor, Rifaat, a cynical political sophisticate who helped explain the country's turmoil. And a different kind of friendship was formed with their illiterate garbage collector, Sayyid, whose access to the refuse of Cairo is another kind of archaeological excavation.
Through the lives of ordinary Egyptians, Hessler creates a richly textured portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it, drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past. The Buried is a work of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity- an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader.
Peter Hessler is a staff writer at the New Yorker (where he served as Cairo correspondent from 2011 to 2016) and also a contributing writer for National Geographic. He is the author of River Town, Oracle Bones, Country Driving and Strange Stones.
2019.10.17 六天时间,没日没夜的终于看完了。唯一可惜的是英语太差,只能理解文字表面的内容,不过所描写埃及状况和当时在那旅游时感受到的完全一致,以至于好像又去了一趟埃及。而作者又从更深层中去发现原因。总之,太好看了。中立不偏颇。

和何伟的其他作品一样,书中涉及的人物都是他所接触的埃及社会的普通个体。对这些人的观察,还是一如既往的体谅又尖锐。这种发自内心的真诚和谦逊在西方记者群体里并不多见。而对于人情世故的体察之深,即得益于他的态度,也反映出他的天赋。 和这些人有关的故事,大多曾专文在...
评分跑个题,看这本书前半段的时候我一直隐隐记挂着何伟他太太Leslie。Leslie跟何伟是同行,也是记者,何伟出了书,那Leslie呢?不会是忙于照顾幼小的双胞胎女儿牺牲了事业吧?不会是因为埃及社会对女性太不友好所以没法像何伟那样出去跑采访开展工作吧?一直看到何伟说他们俩在紧...
评分 评分2011年,何伟(Peter Hessler)准备搬去埃及之前,纽约那边的编辑跟他说,你去过中国之后,埃及看起来可能就太平淡了。 他跟何伟说,“开罗简直就是一滩死水。” 那时距离他和他的太太张彤禾(Leslie T. Chang)一起离开中国回到美国已经过去4年。作为和平队「96一代」的一员,...
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...
