Summary "Pompeii, Its Life and Art" by August Mau is a detailed historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the ancient city of Pompeii, focusing on its history, culture, architecture, and art, particularly in the context of its tragic destruction by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The author showcases his extensive research and personal engagement with the archaeological site, offering insights into the rebuilding efforts of its citizens, the lives they led, and the remnants of their civilization. The opening of the work presents a comprehensive introduction to Pompeii's geographical context and historical significance. Mau vividly describes the city's strategic location near Vesuvius and its surrounding fertile landscape, which contributed to its prosperity. He sets the stage for a discussion of Pompeii's urban development prior to the devastating eruption, highlighting essential details about its inhabitants, their cultures, and the eventual transformations they underwent leading up to 79 A.D. Through a careful examination of evidence from the excavation of the city, the opening frames an essential understanding of Pompeii's vibrant life before its destruction, preparing readers for a deeper exploration of the archaeological findings that follow.
