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.
Peter Hessler is a staff writer at the New Yorker (where he served as Cairo correspondent from 2011 to 2016) and also a contributing writer for National Geographic. He is the author of River Town, Oracle Bones, Country Driving and Strange Stones.

评分 评分Peter Hessler的新书看了一半了,看得挺慢的,一共30章,每天基本看一章。他离开中国以后就不习惯叫他何伟了,何伟像是一个特定的时间地点的一个人格。去年看恶魔奶爸的帖子才认识这位作者,去年底到今年初看完了他之前的四本书,那是97年到2007年十年他在中国的生活。而PH其实...
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。
