79 AD: Pompeii, the thriving town at the foot of Vesuvius, is suddenly destroyed. The areas surrounding the volcano are turned into a deadly hell. A snapshot of life was solidified in lapilli masses and ash rain for history to explore. For centuries, the buried city has attracted numerous visitors, including celebrities such as Mozart, Goethe, Garibaldi, Picasso, Emperor Hirohito, Queen Elizabeth II, Ingrid Bergmann, Helmut Kohl, and Bill Clinton. This book tells the story of the city from its origins to its final tragic moments. It offers an extraordinary journey through Pompeii along its art and buildings, and illuminates a number of scenes from the everyday lives of its citizens. Truly no other "dead" city has remained so alive through present time.

Quels sont les centres d'intérêt majeurs de nos visiteurs ? Ce qui domine d'abord, c'est l'impression qu'ils vont - tout au moins les premiers - vers une aventure, celle de la découverte de mondes nouveaux : le Sud bien sur, mais aussi le monde disparu des siècles passés, une "antiquité" qui n'est plus celle des livres, mais celle des hommes : de fait, à part les textes qui relatent leur destruction, on ne sait rien par les auteurs anciens de ces villes et, si les lecteurs assidus de Cicéron, de Virgile ou de Tacite que sont les hommes du xviiie siècle connaissent tout de Baia ou des champs Phlégréens, s'ils ont rêvé, comme d'autres, du Cap Misène, les noms de Pompéi et d'Herculanum n'évoquent rien d'autre dans leur mémoire que la fureur du Vésuve. Mais voici que, grâce aux fouilles, on voit sortir de terre non seulement des objets, mais le cadre banal où se déroulait, au fil des jours, la vie des hommes d'autrefois: comme dira plus tard l'auteur du Voyage du jeune Anacharsis, "ces anciens dont on a les oreilles rebattus depuis le collège et qu'on s'était habitué à considérer comme des espèces d'entités littéraires, on les voit revivre avec la plupart des préoccupations, des gots et même des ridicules modernes". D'un mot, qui sera celui de Stendhal, on découvre maintenant à "l'antiquité face à face".

The sudden destruction of Pompeii, Herculaneum and the surrounding Campanian countryside following the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 preserved the remarkable evidence that has made possible this reconstruction of the natural history of the local environment. Following the prototype of Pliny the Elder's Natural History, various aspects of the natural history of Pompeii are discussed and analyzed by a team of eminent scientists, many of whom have collaborated with Jashemski during her years of excavation of several gardens in the Vesuvian area. This volume brings together the work of geologists, soil specialists, paleobotanists, botanists, palaeontologists, biologists, chemists, dendrochronologists, ichthyologists, zoologists, ornithologists, mammalogists, herpetologists, entymologists, and archaeologists, affording a thorough picture of the landscape, flora, and fauna of the ancient sites. The detailed and rigorously scientific catalogues, which are copiously illustrated, provide a checklist of the flora and fauna upon which future generations of scholars can continue to build.
