Fascinated by Egypt's rich history, Peter Hessler moved with his family to Cairo just after the Arab Spring had begun.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archaeological dig at a site known as The Buried. In Cairo, he got to know a young gay Egyptian who struggled with pressures from the police and society. Hessler and his wife also struck up a friendship with their Arabic-language instructor, Rifaat, a cynical political sophisticate who helped explain the country's turmoil. And a different kind of friendship was formed with their illiterate garbage collector, Sayyid, whose access to the refuse of Cairo is another kind of archaeological excavation.
Through the lives of ordinary Egyptians, Hessler creates a richly textured portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it, drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past. The Buried is a work of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity- an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader.

2019.10.17 六天时间,没日没夜的终于看完了。唯一可惜的是英语太差,只能理解文字表面的内容,不过所描写埃及状况和当时在那旅游时感受到的完全一致,以至于好像又去了一趟埃及。而作者又从更深层中去发现原因。总之,太好看了。中立不偏颇。

下到手机上用微信读书看了很多天,共33小时。大概是三方面的内容串联在一起的书:在埃及的日常生活、埃及的考古挖掘项目、埃及政治(抗议活动、总统选举等)。写得最有趣的还是那些平常人物,比如Sayyid一家,Manu逃离埃及的经历。写选举啊、抗议啊这些就一般,只是让人感到那里的动乱,作者亲自去那里生活五年写成这么一本书确实不容易。

英文语言较简单,读起来很轻松。作者以一个外地人角度讲述自己在埃及的见闻,真蛮有意思的,很有意思,值得一读。自传类书籍还是比较好读的,复杂点的小说看起来太费劲了。
