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.

評分圖書標籤: 何偉 埃及 PeterHessler 非虛構 社會 紀實 英文原版 2019
最值的有聲書,Hessler自己讀的....腦殘粉必入。寫作手法上類似於江城和尋路中國的結閤,聚焦在平民的生活,同時穿插學習新語言的經曆,有小故事有人物側寫有不帶感情色彩的描述。可以說是“套路”,但是讀者如我還是非常受用。不過還是要買一本實體書,聽有聲書跟看Kindle一樣,有閱讀快感但是有時候缺乏big picture。
評分埃及真是個神奇的國傢
評分通過形形色色的人與事零距離觀察埃及社會,比如街區附近撿破爛的人、同性戀者、語言老師、社會運動參與者、政治傢、考古學者、在那做生意的中國人、在國外的埃及人等等,曆史與現實糾葛,這個古老的文明該何去何從。
評分可以看齣來他到最後真的很失望。
