Sinossi

In "Pompeii, Its Life and Art," August Mau meticulously examines the vivid tapestry of daily life in Pompeii before the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Through a rich narrative interwoven with detailed descriptions of frescoes, mosaics, and urban artifacts, Mau illustrates the Agora's bustling community, the social and cultural dynamics of its inhabitants, and the artistic achievements that epitomized Roman life. The book, grounded in archaeological findings and historical texts, serves as a critical resource for understanding the interplay between art and everyday existence within the ancient Roman milieu. August Mau, a renowned archaeologist and expert on Roman antiquities, dedicated his life to exploring the remnants of the past, particularly the remarkably preserved ruins of Pompeii. His profound engagement with both classical literature and the emerging field of archaeology enabled him to create this comprehensive study, which synthesizes artistic analysis and contextual historical exploration. Mau's scholarly insights reflect not only his vast knowledge but also his passion for unearthing the stories encapsulated within the ruins. This work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of art, history, and archaeology. Mau's vivid portrayals make ancient Pompeii come alive, allowing modern audiences to appreciate the complexity of its culture and the tragic beauty of its demise. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply an enthusiast of ancient history, "Pompeii, Its Life and Art" is an indispensable addition to your literary collection.

    Worthy of Freedom - Indenture...

    A study of Indian indentured labor in Mauritius, British Guiana, and Trinidad that explores the history of indenture’s normalization. In this book, historian Jonathan Connolly traces the normalization of indenture from its controversial beginnings to its widespread adoption across the British Empire during the nineteenth century. Initially viewed as a covert revival of slavery, indenture caused a scandal in Britain and India. But over time, economic conflict in the colonies altered public perceptions of indenture, now increasingly viewed as a legitimate form of free labor and a means of preserving the promise of abolition. Connolly explains how the large-scale, state-sponsored migration of Indian subjects to work on sugar plantations across Mauritius, British Guiana, and Trinidad transformed both the notion of post-slavery free labor and the political economy of emancipation. Excavating legal and public debates and tracing practical applications of the law, Connolly carefully reconstructs how the categories of free and unfree labor were made and remade to suit the interests of capital and empire, showing that emancipation was not simply a triumphal event but, rather, a deeply contested process. In so doing, he advances an original interpretation of how indenture changed the meaning of “freedom” in a post-abolition world.
