Description
Set against the backdrop of one of history's most devastating natural disasters, Escape from Pompeii tells the story of two young people who find themselves fighting for survival in the face of catastrophic destruction.
On the day of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, the Roman city of Pompeii was consumed by fire and ash, claiming the lives of most of its inhabitants. Yet, some people must have survived, and Christina Balit has woven a compelling narrative around the experiences of two individuals who witness the destruction of their beloved city.
This gripping tale of friendship and resilience offers a unique perspective on one of history's most infamous events, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in ancient civilizations and the natural world.
