«Pompeya» is the historical novel by Robert Harris, published by El País in hardcover, with 313 pages in Spanish.
In the days before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, hydraulic engineer Marcus Attilius investigates the faults in the aqueduct that supplies Pompeii. His inquiry uncovers a web of corruption and ambition that intersects with the volcanic threat, in a rigorous reconstruction of Roman life with the pace of a thriller.
This 2008 edition is part of the Bestsellers Collection and includes the translation by Fernando Garí Puig; the work was originally published as Pompeii.
For readers of historical fiction and mystery with an interest in Ancient Rome.
