Product Description

Review

'A thrilling story.. Judith Harris has done it full justice.' --John Julius Norwich

'Judith Harris skilfully interweaves the story of the town's evacuation with the development of archaeology and insights into life in Roman times...The tale emerges from the pages as vibrantly as Pompeii does from the shroud of time.' --Alex Butterworth, ITALIAN


Italy Magazine

'The author has researched with experts from three continents, flown over the city in a hot air balloon, delved into ancient diaries and descended deep underground to assess the latest evacuations. She has produced a very readable work that also tells of those who have visited the city and used it for creative, political and propaganda purposes.'
--Peter Shaw

4.0 out of 5 stars Pompeii Awakened: A Story of Rediscovery , 4 Mar 2009
I am finding it very illuminating and informative. I live in Italy and this book fills a niche as well as being pleasant reading. All this background information will make a visit to Pompei more interesting for anyone planning to go there.

4.0 out of 5 stars A highly readable and interesting book, 2 Feb 2009
By A. J. Sinclair - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book from cover to cover with great interest. The author is particularly strong in her research into the Italian sources. There may be a few careless mistakes but these don't detract from the quality of the book.
