Pompeii by Ray Butterworth, Alex; Laur...

Focusing on key individuals from each stratum of Pompeiian society, a compelling narrative emerges of the city's best and worst times, placing the reader right on the streets and in the houses, amid the sights, smells and sounds of the living city. Drawing together the most recent archaeological and historical research, 'Pompeii' offers a vivid, and unprecedented, portrait of the city during the eventful twenty-five years leading up to the eruption that destroyed it. He is the co-author of Pompeii: The Living City and author of The World That Never Was: A True Story of Dreamers, Schemers, Anarchists, and Secret Agents. As the clouds of ash blotted out the sun following the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, so the everyday world of ancient Pompeii has become obscured by the city's almost mythic status.
