See my Author Page|If Pompeii intrigues you, be prepared to fall in love with this book. It's not just Pliny the Younger's letters, but the illustrations by Barry Moser that bring the disaster of Vesuvius to your living room. I recommend the hardback to really appreciate the picture||
|“Moser’s jagged images capture the eerie moments before, during, and after the eruption, from which the solidified ghosts of Pompeii’s fleeing inhabitants emerged as artifacts almost 2,000 years later.”—Archaeology Magazi
Barry Moser's extraordinarily detailed and evocative relief engravings decorate this translation of Pliny the Younger's two famous letters to Tacitus about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 and the death of his uncle, Pliny the Elder. The text includes a brief description of the eruption of the volcano, concise biographies of Tacitus and of both Plinys, and a summary of how the texts of the two letters have survived until today.
