Vesuvius by Night

Set against the backdrop of the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, this gripping audiobook by Lindsey Davis explores the lives of two residents of Pompeii and Herculaneum—a thief and a fresco painter—whose routines are dramatically disrupted by the disaster. As chaos unfolds, one individual seeks to profit from the chaos, while the other desperately attempts to save his family, vividly capturing the human struggle in the face of one of history’s greatest natural catastrophes.
