About this product
Product Information
Ash spewed into the sky. All eyes were on Vesuvius. Pliny the Elder sailed towards the phenomenon. A teenage Pliny the Younger waited. His uncle did not come back. In a dazzling new literary biography, Daisy Dunn introduces Pliny the Younger, the survivor who became a Roman lawyer, senator, poet, collector of villas, curator of drains, and representative of the Emperor. He was confidant and friend to the great and good, an unparalleled chronicler of the Vesuvius catastrophe, and eyewitness to the terror of Emperor Domitian. The younger Pliny was adopted by his uncle, admiral of the fleet and author of the Natural History, an extraordinary compendium of knowledge and the world's first full-length encyclopaedia. The younger Pliny inherited his uncle's notebooks and carried their pearls of wisdom with him down the years. Daisy Dunn breathes vivid life back into the Plinys. Reading from the Natural History and the Younger Pliny's Letters, she resurrects the relationship between the two men to expose their beliefs on life, death and the natural world in the first century. Interweaving their work, and positioning the Plinys in relation to the devastating eruption, Dunn's biography is a celebration of two outstanding minds of the Roman Empire, and their lasting influence on the world thereafter. .

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA difficult set to find online in good shape and at the right price with the shipping from UK sellers. So I am very pleased with the purchase. Seller responded quickly to a shipping question, even while away. The items arrived in excellent shape, truly as new condition as described, thanks to the careful packing. Very pleased, HIGHLY RECOMMEND this seller in Birmingham, UK, even to American buyers.
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePostage was free so what is not to like and the book arrived within 24 hours. It was as described and looks unread. The book was sturdily and safely packed and altogether was incredible value for money. Seller accommodated a delivery request and at no extra cost, so very happy with the whole transaction experience.
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThis purchase arrived exactly as described, as new, unread condition. Excellent price agreed. Posted for next day delivery, arrived on time. Superbly packaged (as always) in bubble wrap in middle of sturdy box filled with polystyrene. Have bought, with confidence, from this seller many times before and will continue to do so in the future. Gives me great pleasure to be able to thoroughly recommend him to one and all, Kind regards, Tony
