Pompeii is the most famous archaeological site in the world, visited by more than two million people each year. Yet it is also one of the most puzzling, with an intriguing and sometimes violent history, from the sixth century BCE to the present day.

Destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 CE, the ruins of Pompeii offer the best evidence we have of life in the Roman Empire. But the eruptions are only part of the story. In The Fires of Vesuvius, acclaimed historian Mary Beard makes sense of the remains. She explores what kind of town it was-more like Calcutta or the Costa del Sol?-and what it can tell us about "ordinary" life there. From sex to politics, food to religion, slavery to literacy, Beard offers us the big picture even as she takes us close enough to the past to smell the bad breath and see the intestinal tapeworms of the inhabitants of the lost city. She resurrects the Temple of Isis as a testament to ancient multiculturalism. At the Suburban Baths we go from communal bathing to hygiene to erotica.

Recently, Pompeii has been a focus of pleasure and loss: from Pink Floyd's memorable rock concert to Primo Levi's elegy on the victims. But Pompeii still does not give up its secrets quite as easily as it may seem. This book shows us how much more and less there is to Pompeii than a city frozen in time as it went about its business on 24 August 79.

垃圾的恶臭,满地的阳具logo,商铺街道的聒噪热辣,维苏威火山淹没的曾经与罗马为敌的庞贝古城如此这般在Beard笔下呈现在我面前,回想2007年庞贝展览来京,我看了就开始畅想“伟大属于罗马”的那个庞贝,结果眼见的展品丝毫无法与“伟大”划等号,总觉得哪里不对,原来古代罗马...

《庞贝:一座罗马城市的生与死》玛丽·比尔德著,民主与建设出版社。看过庞贝末日的电影,书本的介绍更具吸引力,初读下来,画面感很强,公元一世纪的样貌跃然纸上。那时期的中国,就是西汉末年王莽新朝及东汉初年。中国征战初定,地球的另一边,是一场突如其来的灾难。书本封...
