The city continues to fascinate travellers who pass through its cobbled streets and contemplate the mosaics of the house of the Tragic Poet or the sublime frescoes that adorn the Villa of Mysteries .
Drawing on the most recent work of archaeologists and going back over the excavations organised from the 18th century onwards, this book offers an evocative journey through Pompeian time and space.
