Imagine being in the southern part of Italy thousands of years ago, where a massive volcano is erupting. Later, everything returns to calm. Many years later, a Roman city—Pompeii—appears at the foot of the Vesuvius volcano on the fertile plain. The city is prosperous, and people live a comfortable life. Until one August morning, everything changes. That day, the sun is shining bright. This book tells a story that feels like a journey, but it's not an ordinary journey. You don't need to take a plane, car, or ship. In fact, you don't even need to leave your home to travel through time! Open the book, and time flies under your fingertips: hours, days, or even years. You stay in the same place, but changes keep happening. Every moment—meaning every stop in your journey—is a new chapter of the story: volcanic eruptions, disasters from the sky, the destruction of the city, long years of silence, the day of rebirth—everything tells the story of Pompeii.
