“Ancient Egyptians had words for two different kinds of time: djet and neheh. These terms cannot be translated into English, and it may be impossible for them to be grasped by the modern mind. In our world, time is a straight line, and one event leads to a...

From the acclaimed author of River Town and Oracle Bones, an intimate excavation of life in one of the world's oldest civilizations at a time of convulsive change
Drawn by an abiding fascination with Egypt's rich history and civilization, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo to explore a place that had a powerful hold over his imagination. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, research ancient history, and visit the legendary archeological digs. After years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him it would be a much quieter place. But just before his arrival, the Arab Spring had reached Egypt and the country was in chaos.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archeological dig at a site rich in royal tombs known in as al-Madfuna, or "The Buried." He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up an important friendship with their language instructor, a cynical political sophisticate named Rifaat. And a very different kind of friendship was formed with their garbage collector, an illiterate neighborhood character named Saaed, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archeological excavation. Along the way, he meets a family of Chinese small business owners who have cornered the nation's lingerie trade; their pragmatic view of the political crisis is a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom.
Through the lives of these ordinary Egyptians in a time of tragedy and heartache, while drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past, Hessler creates a richly textured and original portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it. Whether he's investigating the relics of pharaohs, the neighborhood trash that Saeed brings him, the Arabic vocabulary lists from Rifaat, or the Muslim Brotherhood documents left behind after mobs have looted their offices, Hessler finds subtle and illuminating insights to understand a nation from a new perspective.
What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity. Through the lives of Saeed and Rifaat, we encounter a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains painfully the same. The Buried is an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader, one filled with unforgettable people who escape their context and become universal.
哎 第一时间看完了 果然何伟就是一个标准的美国非虚构记者 我们国人之所以这么喜欢他是因为真的没有一个美国科班的写作者这样写中国吧 自己来说 全本最好看的章节还是写中国商人在埃及
评分垃圾工Sayyid的故事(乐);阿语教师Rifaat的故事(悲);同性恋翻译Manu的故事(叹);蜘蛛网铁门公寓的故事(巧);中国商人在埃及的故事(奇)...... 当然,最不应该忘记的其实是两次革命中那些逝去的平民,Allah yerhamoh,may God rest his soul......
评分何伟在写作和为人上都是我的偶像,我喜欢他观察的目光,让非虚构成了非常迷人的文本,我喜欢他的幽默,消解了很多诡谲的现实,我最喜欢的,是他的悲悯,与你同为人的那种感同身受。
评分可以打十颗星吗
评分是现在也是过去,是纪实又像小说,何伟写作真的懂怎么放出去和怎么收回来,最后一章就像个电视剧的大结局,很有画面感
