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.

“Ancient Egyptians had words for two different kinds of time: djet and neheh. These terms cannot be translated into English, and it may be impossible for them to be grasped by the modern mind. In our world, time is a straight line, and one event leads to a...
評分 評分和何伟的其他作品一样,书中涉及的人物都是他所接触的埃及社会的普通个体。对这些人的观察,还是一如既往的体谅又尖锐。这种发自内心的真诚和谦逊在西方记者群体里并不多见。而对于人情世故的体察之深,即得益于他的态度,也反映出他的天赋。 和这些人有关的故事,大多曾专文在...
評分2011年,何伟(Peter Hessler)准备搬去埃及之前,纽约那边的编辑跟他说,你去过中国之后,埃及看起来可能就太平淡了。 他跟何伟说,“开罗简直就是一滩死水。” 那时距离他和他的太太张彤禾(Leslie T. Chang)一起离开中国回到美国已经过去4年。作为和平队「96一代」的一员,...
評分现在是2020年5月8日23点45分,阴了一天,一阵急雨后,窗外吹来清爽的凉风。我刚读完何伟的《埃及的革命考古学》,感动之余,心里有种失落和压抑。和2018年9月30日我读完何伟的《江城》的感受一样。 那时我失业在家,现在,也一样。 《江城》中的英语专业的学生、“学生食堂”的...
