Pompeii: The Day a City Died ReviewThis is the first book I read on Pompeii, and therefore my only source of knowledge about what happened there. The book was very easy to read, with almost no jargon or unnecessary details. On the negative side, the book does not follow a meaningful structure, and is almost like a scrapbook on Pompeii. There are plenty of colorful pictures, which have no mention in the text. So first you need to read the book, and then go through the pictures and read the notes on them.
The book starts out describing the history of excavations in Pompeii. Then, we have chapters on the daily life in Pompeii, how they earned a living, the role of women in society, leisure in Pompeii, their relationship with Gods and their views on love and death. At the end there is a section called documents, which includes writings of various writers on Pompeii, including Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Stendhal.
I don't feel like I learned everything there is to know about Pompeii. For example, I am not clear on whether escape was at all possible, or whether anyone survived. The information presented was interesting, but I feel there were gaps in the way it was presented. This is probably a good thing, because it stimulates one for further reading.Pompeii: The Day a City Died Overview
