Pompei

Daily life in Pompeii through the eyes of two Roman boys... of our time: school lessons, street games, domestic rituals, wedding preparations. In the background, city life: the forum, bustling with farmers, animals, and high-ranking citizens; the streets filled with musicians and street vendors; performances in the amphitheater, public baths, gymnasiums... until a plume of smoke appears over Mount Vesuvius. By our calendar, it's 79 AD; for the Pompeians, it was the year 832 from the founding of Rome, the beginning of the volcano's terrible eruption. A master of graphic design, one of the founders of the daily newspaper La Repubblica, gracefully recounts the simple, everyday history of Pompeii, like a wise grandfather to his curious grandchildren. Recommended reading age: 7 and up.
