Píše se rok 1468. Mladý kněz Christopher Fairfax přijíždí do odlehlé vesnice ve Wessexu, aby vykonal pohřeb tamního faráře. Země v okolí je posetá starými artefakty – mincemi, úlomky skla, lidskými kostmi - které starý farář sbíral. Nevedla tato posedlost k jeho smrti? Fairfax se rozhoduje odhalit pravdu. V průběhu příštích šesti dnů bude vše, čemu věří, podrobeno zničující zkoušce.Poslední spánek je postapokalyptický román s nečekaným zvratem. Příběh se odehrává v budoucnosti, nikoli v minulosti. Dozvídáme se, že kolem roku 2025 se spletitě propojená globální společnost, o které dnes uvažujeme jako o čemsi naprosto samozřejmém, totálně zhroutila. Jak? Důvodů se nabízí víc. Mezi zbytky těch, kdo přežili, přinejmenším v Británii, se vynořil nový společenský řád pod vedením katolické církve. V novém kalendáři těchto lidí se rok 2025 stává rokem 666 (podle biblické „číslice šelmy“, jak je popsáno ve Zjevení Janově 13:15-18). Rok 1468 je tudíž od současnosti vzdálen do budoucnosti o více než 800 let.V Posledním spánku Harris zkoumá svět, který je neznámý a starý, a zároveň poukazuje na důsledky našeho flagrantního ignorování současných existenciálních nebezpečí. Staví nás do jádra záhady. Katastrofa, která postihla svět, je důsledkem naší chamtivosti a ctižádostivosti, naší arogance. Zodpovědní jsme za to my všichni…

Pompeii, the Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in August AD 79, is one of the world''s most famous archaeological sites. With excavations in progress for more than 250 years, it is also the subject of the world''s longest-running archaeological dig. And yet in some ways we know less about Pompeii than we do about many other Roman sites. Because the city is so well preserved, excavations have concentrated upon exposing the remains of AD 79, and the earlier levels have been neglected. Only in recent years has a serious effort been made to trace the history of the city back to its beginnings more than seven centuries before it entombment.This book differs from previous studies in placing an emphasis on Pompeii''s history. Using the evidence of the latest archaeological research, the author traces the evolution of the city from its origins as a small Oscan or Etruscan settlement of the seventh and sixth centuries BC to a flourishing urban centre of the early Roman Empire. Further chapters survey aspects of the life of the city in its last years and recount the story of its disappearance and rediscovery.

It is AD 79 and Mount Vesuvius has erupted, destroying Pompeii. Among the thousands of people huddled in refugee camps along the bay of Naples are Flavia Gemina and her friends, Jonathan the Jewish boy, Nubia the African slave-girl, and Lupus the mute beggar boy. When the friends discover that children are being kidnapped from the camps, they start to investigate and soon solve the mystery of the pirates of Pompeii. A terrifically exciting and dramatic story packed with superb historical detail.

The resonant ruins of Pompeii are perhaps the most direct route back to the living, breathing world of the ancient Romans. Two million visitors annually now walk the paved streets which re-emerged, miraculously preserved, from their layers of volcanic ash. Yet for all the fame and unique importance of the site, there is a surprising lack of a handy archaeological guide in English to reveal and explain its public spaces and private residences. This compact and user-friendly handbook, written by an expert in the field, helpfully fills that gap. Illustrated throughout with maps, plans, diagrams and other images, Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide offers a general introduction to the doomed city followed by an authoritative summary and survey of the buildings, artefacts and paintings themselves. The result is an unrivalled picture, derived from an intimate knowledge of Roman archaeology around the Bay of Naples, of the forum, temples, brothels, bath-houses, bakeries, gymnasia, amphitheatre, necropolis and other site buildings - including perennial favourites like the House of the Faun, named after its celebrated dancing satyr.
