具体描述
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.

读后感
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 评分何伟在中国生活了多年，又在埃及生活了五年，在他的笔下常常出现对两个国家的对比，这也是这本书吸引我之处。 埃及和中国都是古老又年轻的国家，都有五千年以上的历史，都在二十世纪才开始现代化进程，但命运却如此不同，原因何在？ 何伟在埃及五年经历了两场革命，推翻穆巴拉...
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...

可以看出来他到最后真的很失望。
评分可以看出来他到最后真的很失望。
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。
评分可以看出来他到最后真的很失望。
