Sinopsis de FROZEN CITY

For seventeen centuries, Pompeii slept under volcanic ash. When excavators finally broke through, they found a city frozen in the middle of a Tuesday. Bread still sat in ovens. Graffiti declared eternal love. Bodies huddled in corners, caught in the moment of their death.
This book explores what Pompeii teaches us beyond the tragedy. The ash that killed the city also preserved it better than any museum could. You will walk through brothels with explicit signage, read election slogans painted on walls, and see the homes of both senators and slaves. Roman life was messier, funnier, and more human than the marble statues suggest.
The Frozen City does not shy from the horror. You will learn what a pyroclastic surge does to a human body and why the victims died the way they did. But the greater lesson is how ordinary the day was before the mountain exploded. Pompeii reminds us that catastrophe does not send invitations. Life happens until it suddenly stops.
