Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

During a sweltering week in late August, as Rome's richest citizens relax in their villas around Pompeii and Herculaneum, there are ominous warnings that something is going wrong. Wells and springs are failing, a man has disappeared, and now the greatest aqueduct in the world - the mighty Aqua Augusta - has suddenly ceased to flow . . .

Through the eyes of four characters - a young engineer, an adolescent girl, a corrupt millionaire and an elderly scientist - Robert Harris brilliantly recreates a luxurious world on the brink of destruction.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Harris is a writer of integrity who does not seek refuge in postmodernist nonsense...He knows how to tell a story and achieves page-turningreadability without effort.
Explosive stuff, indeed - and, yes, it goes with a bang.
The depth of research in this book is staggering...Pompeii is indeed a blazing blockbuster.
It is hard to imagine a more thorough-goingly enjoyable thriller read
Harris had me imaginatively surrounded. I am lost in admiration at his energy and skill
Since The Usual Suspects, novels and movies have become obsessed with the trick ending but .Insolently resisting this trend Harris has brought off a known-ending story
A sophisticated thriller that takes in its stride the conventions of the historical novel, Pompeii deserves the place it will undoubtedly have at the top of the bestseller list.
Blazingly exciting... Harris, as Vesuvius explodes, gives full vent to his genius for thrilling narrative... pulse-rate-speeding masterpieces of suffocating suspense and searing action
Robert Harris's Pompeii is his best yet: as explosive as Etna, as addictive as a thriller, as satisfying as great history - Simon Sebag Montefiore 'Books of the Year'
Breakneck pace, constant jeopardy and subtle twists of plot... a blazing blockbuster

I read the book a few years ago and have been wanting it in audio format for a while now. Well worth the wait although a few words are mispronounced in my opinion

A great story that allows you to glimpse the Roman world nearly 2000 years ago in a very realistic manner.

A excellent listen. Highly recommended

What did you like most about Pompeii?

Illuminating look at Rome at its most interesting. Detail was superb and as far as I know, historically accurate and relevant, yet the narrative had a contemporary feel. I love Robert Harris- he spins a great yarn, and this was up there with his best.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Obviously the main protagonist was fascinating-all the other characters revolved around him very cleverly, giving a strong sense of a real person at the heart of the story.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes- when the young man was thrown into the pool of eels. There was a real sense of disregard for the feelings of him and those around him.

Any additional comments?

Made me want to read the others. Cicero is one of the most fascinating characters in Roman history and this was just an introduction to a huge story about him.

Fascinating insight

A gripping tale well told and read, bar the odd weird pronunciation. Robert Harris is a master.

Brought the nightmare to life
