Produced by Juliet Sutherland, David Widger and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Buried Cities, Volume 1: Pompeii" by Jennie Hall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the fascinating ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, which was famously preserved under volcanic ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Through vibrant narratives and illustrations, Hall explores the daily lives of the inhabitants, the catastrophic eruption, and the subsequent rediscovery of the city that provides insight into Roman life. The narrative unfolds primarily through the experiences of Ariston, a Greek slave and skilled painter, who faces the harrowing eruption of Vesuvius. As he strives to care for his young master Caius amidst the chaos, vivid descriptions detail the city’s destruction and the frantic attempts of its citizens to escape. The story paints a poignant picture of love, bravery, and survival amidst disaster, while also capturing the rich cultural and social life of Pompeii prior to its burial—its art, commerce, and societal structures. The book also includes historical insights about the city and its eventual rediscovery, inviting readers to contemplate the endurance of human stories across time.
