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
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...
评分 评分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...
评分新年伊始在朋友的推荐下读完了这本书。之前翻看过江城，却迟迟无法决定是该读中文译文还是用原版英文读，毕竟是描述中国的书。阴差阳错之下，the buried成了读peter hessler的第一本书。 书的结构很妙。考古、政治时事和人物故事穿插起来，将阿拉伯之春之后的埃及社会风情娓娓...
用户评价
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。
评分埃及真是个神奇的国家
评分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。
