Publisher's Summary:
On August 24 and 25 in the year 79 A.D., a Volcanic eruption from Mt. Vesuvius spewed fire, lava, smoke, and ash upon the city of Pompeii, burying it and many of its inhabitants. Before this catastrophe, the streets of Pompeii had been bustling with the activity of its people, busy with commerce supported by its shipping trade and its role as a link between interior Italy and the outside world. In Pompeii, based on the Time Life Books series Lost Civilizations, you'll visit this ancient, lost city as it was in its heyday and how it exists today, its ruins lying in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius.

Perfect Pompeii Primer
This short (90 minute) history of Pompeii and it's destruction is very good. Pompeii: City Captured In Ash was perfect for my one day in and out commute. The ensemble cast recreates the life and death of these 1st century Romans using the still life casts and messages left behind as the last moments of their lives were captured forever.
This great little book will leave you wanting to know more. I have queued up Robert Harris' Pompeii: A Novel in "My Next Listen" so that I can keep exploring this facinating example of how our environment can turn on us without warning at any moment.
Life in Pompeii
This audiobook read by David McCalum and others brings the inhabitants of 79 AD Pompeii to life in the listener's imagination. Because there were few written accounts of the disaster, the dialogues are fictional but based on the surviving records and grafitti from the ruins.
Bone chilling
Just like the Titanic this story always gives me goose bumps except this was even worse because the trajedy happens to an entire city.
Most interesting Historical fiction
I found this book very interesting the building of characters very well done. It was well read, and in no time at all I was engrossed in the adventures of the aquarius, and the build up to and through the eruptions. One of Audibles better books. I highly recommend it to any who likes history.
I love it!
I love this book! The fact that it is not someone just reading on in monotone notes, but intertwines characters as if in some play, makes it an outstanding audiobook. This book makes Pompeii come to life. Excellent read. I wish I could find some more books like this.
