Description

¤Recinto arqueológico de Pompeya, julio de 2014.¤ La joven arqueóloga Julia encuentra, con ayuda de su amiga Clara, un hallazgo insólito: las cartas de la esclava Niobe en una tumba de la Necrópolis de la Puerta de Herculano. La muchacha, quien se siente atraída desde el primer momento por la vida que rodeaba a Niobe, decide, junto con su compañero Roberto y su amiga Clara, traducir las cartas e investigar un poco más acerca de la ciudad y de los acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar en un tiempo cercano a la gran tragedia, en el siglo I d.C. Juntos descubrirán momentos importantes en la vida de la esclava, y al mismo tiempo, ellos mismos serán protagonistas de una fascinante historia. ?Pompeya, año 78 d.C.? Niobe, enamorada de Marcus, un pretor romano del que le separaron en Roma, vive en Pompeya bajo la custodia de un patrón sin escrúpulos. La esclava intenta sobrevivir con el cariño de la gente de la ciudad y, sobre todo, de su joven señora Valeria. Luchará por mantener vivo su amor por Marcus a través de unas cartas que ella misma compone, ya que, misteriosamente, Niobe sabe leer y escribir. Grandes secretos y apasionados encuentros sucederán en Pompeya y envolverán la vida de la joven esclava y la de todos aquellos a los que ella ama justo antes del suceso más aciago que pudo ocurrir en aquella urbe: la erupción del Vesubio en el verano del año 79 d.C.
