没想到我读完了,也没想到居然看哭好几次。在何伟看来阿拉伯之春无疑是失败的,经济越来越糟,教育、医疗、就业等等都问题重重,用书中人物manu的话来说就是没有system,传统形成的阻力太强大了;但是最好看的还是人了,收垃圾的sayyid和他们的家人,逃到德国的同性恋manu,死因不明的阿拉伯语老师,还有那些卖内衣的浙江人,这些人物在何伟的笔下让读者有一种强烈的真实感。因为政治时局和人物两条线的交叉写法,极大激发了我的阅读兴趣;因为何伟在中国十年的经历,在这本讲埃及的书中,他多次把中国和埃及在不同层面进行比较,让我重新思考一些国内的问题。非常享受的一次阅读体验。
评分是现在也是过去,是纪实又像小说,何伟写作真的懂怎么放出去和怎么收回来,最后一章就像个电视剧的大结局,很有画面感
评分啊啊啊,真是一本好书,喜欢何伟笔下的那些人物。喜欢他的写作风格和幽默,喜欢他的平等他的人文关怀。希望书里的那些人以后也平安地生活下去。这本书让我对阿拉伯之春感兴趣了。
评分有声书是何伟自己读,第一次听他说英文...书里面还夹杂着阿拉伯语法语汉语,可能别人真的也读不来。寻路中国出版之后只是隐约知道他跟partner去了埃及。至于原因,按书里的说法,是中国变化太快,而两个人想找一个平静的地方养养孩子才去埃及,结果就碰上了阿拉伯之春。还是何伟最习惯的多线程,一条讲时局,一条讲自己,一条讲认识的当地人。

From the acclaimed author of River Town and Oracle Bones, an intimate excavation of life in one of the world's oldest civilizations at a time of convulsive change
Drawn by an abiding fascination with Egypt's rich history and civilization, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo to explore a place that had a powerful hold over his imagination. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, research ancient history, and visit the legendary archeological digs. After years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him it would be a much quieter place. But just before his arrival, the Arab Spring had reached Egypt and the country was in chaos.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archeological dig at a site rich in royal tombs known in as al-Madfuna, or "The Buried." He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up an important friendship with their language instructor, a cynical political sophisticate named Rifaat. And a very different kind of friendship was formed with their garbage collector, an illiterate neighborhood character named Saaed, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archeological excavation. Along the way, he meets a family of Chinese small business owners who have cornered the nation's lingerie trade; their pragmatic view of the political crisis is a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom.
Through the lives of these ordinary Egyptians in a time of tragedy and heartache, while drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past, Hessler creates a richly textured and original portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it. Whether he's investigating the relics of pharaohs, the neighborhood trash that Saeed brings him, the Arabic vocabulary lists from Rifaat, or the Muslim Brotherhood documents left behind after mobs have looted their offices, Hessler finds subtle and illuminating insights to understand a nation from a new perspective.
What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity. Through the lives of Saeed and Rifaat, we encounter a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains painfully the same. The Buried is an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader, one filled with unforgettable people who escape their context and become universal.
“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...
