From the acclaimed author of River Town and Oracle Bones, an intimate excavation of life in one of the world's oldest civilizations at a time of convulsive change
Drawn by an abiding fascination with Egypt's rich history and civilization, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo to explore a place that had a powerful hold over his imagination. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, research ancient history, and visit the legendary archeological digs. After years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him it would be a much quieter place. But just before his arrival, the Arab Spring had reached Egypt and the country was in chaos.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archeological dig at a site rich in royal tombs known in as al-Madfuna, or "The Buried." He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up an important friendship with their language instructor, a cynical political sophisticate named Rifaat. And a very different kind of friendship was formed with their garbage collector, an illiterate neighborhood character named Saaed, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archeological excavation. Along the way, he meets a family of Chinese small business owners who have cornered the nation's lingerie trade; their pragmatic view of the political crisis is a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom.
Through the lives of these ordinary Egyptians in a time of tragedy and heartache, while drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past, Hessler creates a richly textured and original portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it. Whether he's investigating the relics of pharaohs, the neighborhood trash that Saeed brings him, the Arabic vocabulary lists from Rifaat, or the Muslim Brotherhood documents left behind after mobs have looted their offices, Hessler finds subtle and illuminating insights to understand a nation from a new perspective.
What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity. Through the lives of Saeed and Rifaat, we encounter a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains painfully the same. The Buried is an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader, one filled with unforgettable people who escape their context and become universal.

何伟Peter Hessler在埃及的五年专栏结集出版了。 何伟在中国度过了十五年单身生活,中国来信里充满了各式各样的飞速演化。但深居埃及的何伟有了要守护的妻儿,最后第一次感慨「埃及的五年无比漫长」,所呈现的埃及也是「外部世界变化无穷,埃及却还是那个埃及」。 也很有趣。

subway reading#2 一个nomad,真正椰壳碗外的人生。有点如何料理日常生活陌生化以及生产“他者”的问题,不管是在所谓的非虚构写作,还是在读材料的过程中。引进大概是不太可能了。

啊啊啊,真是一本好书,喜欢何伟笔下的那些人物。喜欢他的写作风格和幽默,喜欢他的平等他的人文关怀。希望书里的那些人以后也平安地生活下去。这本书让我对阿拉伯之春感兴趣了。

是现在也是过去,是纪实又像小说,何伟写作真的懂怎么放出去和怎么收回来,最后一章就像个电视剧的大结局,很有画面感

Wow, Peter Hessler must be a Chinese mascot or something. Why are his books so beloved here? Frankly, I only occasionally find his writing fascinating. Mostly it drags on and on. 2.5 stars.

因为太喜欢何伟了,这本书一出来就买了英文版,但是没有立马开始看,一搁就搁到了现在。最好看的两条线是sayyid和中国内衣商人,看得我放不下了,但是一到讲政治的章节我就昏昏入睡。对于女性地位的讨论太深刻了,因为女性不能独自外出,埃及没法复制中国的工厂模式,建了高兴区也只能限制。Sayyid一家是有爱埃及普通人,让我对埃及好感倍增,但是整个国家女性地位低下却让我不太想去。书末有很多注释,我完全没意识到... 因为太喜欢何伟了,这本书一出来就买了英文版,但是没有立马开始看,一搁就搁到了现在。最好看的两条线是sayyid和中国内衣商人,看得我放不下了,但是一到讲政治的章节我就昏昏入睡。对于女性地位的讨论太深刻了,因为女性不能独自外出,埃及没法复制中国的工厂模式,建了高兴区也只能限制。Sayyid一家是有爱埃及普通人,让我对埃及好感倍增,但是整个国家女性地位低下却让我不太想去。书末有很多注释,我完全没意识到,于是读到80%就截然而止了,还非常意犹未尽。 (展开)

【2024第6本】Length: 16 hrs and 44 mins;3.5-3.15 这本 写的是不错 就是感觉情绪价值和科学价值都不是很高 情绪价值不高因为虽然书里很多地方提到中国,但主要还是讲埃及的 对埃及不是很感兴趣,因为今天的埃及已经伊斯兰化/下一本还是想看和中国相关的,虽然埃及和中国有点像/audible就是牛 读的人就是作者/这书评价太高了,而且我已经想读很多年,一定要读。

没想到我第一次读何伟,不是读他讲中国,而是读他讲埃及。何伟确实是顶级的写作者,在他的笔下,大时代里遥远国家的这些三教九流是如此鲜活,如此生动,读这本书就像和这些人一起走过了漫长的岁月...
