All along the Mediterranean coast, the Roman empire’s richest citizens are relaxing in their luxurious villas, enjoying the last days of summer. The world’s largest navy lies peacefully at anchor in Misenum. The tourists are spending their money in the seaside resorts of Baiae, Herculaneum, and Pompeii.
But the carefree lifestyle and gorgeous weather belie an impending cataclysm, and only one man is worried. The young engineer Marcus Attilius Primus has just taken charge of the Aqua Augusta, the enormous aqueduct that brings fresh water to a quarter of a million people in nine towns around the Bay of Naples. His predecessor has disappeared. Springs are failing for the first time in generations. And now there is a crisis on the Augusta’s sixty-mile main line—somewhere to the north of Pompeii, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius.
Attilius—decent, practical, and incorruptible—promises Pliny, the famous scholar who commands the navy, that he can repair the aqueduct before the reservoir runs dry. His plan is to travel to Pompeii and put together an expedition, then head out to the place where he believes the fault lies. But Pompeii proves to be a corrupt and violent town, and Attilius soon discovers that there are powerful forces at work—both natural and man-made—threatening to destroy him.
With his trademark elegance and intelligence, Robert Harris, bestselling author of Archangel and Fatherland , re-creates a world on the brink of disaster.

评分庞贝是我小时候便听说过的城市。 至今都清楚地记得,在那期电视节目中,眼前的死城里,一具具如同美术馆里石膏像般的躯体,仍保持着他们生命终止时的姿态,栩栩如生。 自此之后,我便一直记着这座被维苏威火山毁灭的城市——庞贝,甚至早于我所知晓的其他意大利城市。 于是,...
评分 评分高中时用人教版的教材,高三英语是本很厚的书,里面有个单元讲自然灾害,课后练习的阅读里是一篇信,老普林尼的侄子写给这本书的作者的,讲述收到雷克蒂娜的信以后老普林尼前往庞贝的时,记得还有什么“希望对你的创作有所帮助”,当时觉得掐头去尾没头没脑的就停在了那里,人...
