This is the story of the final days of Pompeii, the idyllic resort town nestled on the picturesque shores of the Bay of Naples. Nearby Mount Vesuvius, after years of slumber, is about to reawaken with unimaginable consequences. The eruption is sudden but hardly unexpected. Many citizens wisely flee to safety. Others, for their own reasons, decide to remain. Pliny the Elder, Gaius Plinius Secundas, a Roman official and naval commander, dispatches vessels in a valiant attempt to rescue fleeing citizens. His nephew, Gaius, later known as Pliny the Younger and a close friend of young Marcus, witnesses the incredible eruption from the safety of his villa across the bay. Marcus Magnus, describes the terrifying advance of ash and rock from the rooftop of his villa. Their neighbor's property, Villa of the Mysteries, named for the frescos that adorned one room in the house, lay in ruins. After the noise, wind and chaos of the eruption subsides, Pompeii lies quiet and unmoving, buried to its rooftops in ash and debris. A new take on the final days of Pompeii. Vesuvius has awakened!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destroyed yet paradoxically preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Pompeii and other nearby sites are usually considered places where we can most directly experience the daily lives of ancient Romans. Rather than present these sites as windows to the past, however, the authors of The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection explore Pompeii as a modern obsession, in which the Vesuvian sites function as mirrors of the present. Through cultural appropriation and projection, outstanding visual and literary artists of the last three centuries have made the ancient catastrophe their own, expressing contemporary concerns in diverse media--from paintings, prints, and sculpture, to theatrical performances, photography, and film. This lavishly illustrated volume--featuring the works of artists such as Piranesi, Fragonard, Kaufmann, Ingres, Chass�riau, and Alma-Tadema, as well as Duchamp, Dal�, Rothko, Rauschenberg, and Warhol--surveys the legacy of Pompeii in the modern imagination under the three overarching rubrics of decadence, apocalypse, and resurrection. Decadence investigates the perception of Pompeii as a site of impending and well-deserved doom due to the excesses of the ancient Romans, such as paganism, licentiousness, greed, gluttony, and violence. The catastrophic demise of the Vesuvian sites has become inexorably linked with the understanding of antiquity, turning Pompeii into a fundamental allegory for Apocalypse, to which all subsequent disasters (natural or man-made) are related, from the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Resurrection examines how Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities have been reincarnated in modern guise through both scientific archaeology and fantasy, as each successive cultural reality superimposed its values and ideas on the distant past. An exhibition of the same name will be on view at the Getty Villa from September 12, 2012, through January 7, 2013; at the Cleveland Museum of Art from February 24 through May 19, 2013; and at the Mus�e national des beaux-arts du Qu�bec from June 13 through November 8, 2013.
