Le lupe di Pompei sono Amara, Didone, Vittoria, Berenice, Cressa. Ma nessuna di loro si chiama davvero così. Questi sono i loro nomi da schiave, costrette alla prostituzione nel bordello cittadino dal cinico padrone Felicio. Nella Pompei antica, che procede ignara incontro al proprio destino, vivendo contrasti abissali tra ricchezza e miseria, uomini e donne, cittadini liberi e schiavi privi di qualunque diritto, le ragazze che abitano il postribolo tentano ogni giorno di sopravvivere alla brutalità delle loro notti. Qualcuna, come Amara, ricorda un passato di libertà ed è decisa a riconquistarlo con ogni mezzo; altre, al contrario, sono nate schiave e non hanno conosciuto un’esistenza diversa. Ma nonostante il dolore di ogni storia personale e la continua gara per procacciarsi clienti, denaro e pane, le lupe possono contare le une sulle altre, farsi custodi delle reciproche debolezze e paure, proteggersi a vicenda ogni volta che è possibile, senza perdere la capacità di cogliere minuscole gioie quotidiane, ma soprattutto senza perdere la speranza: le strade di Pompei sono piene di opportunità e perfino chi non ha più nulla può trovare un’occasione per rovesciare la sorte in suo favore. Con Le lupe di Pompei, primo capitolo di una trilogia imbastita sullo sfondo di una realtà lontana nel tempo ma brulicante di vita, Elodie Harper mette in scena un denso, avvincente racconto di resistenza umana e femminile, riuscendo a dar voce alle donne le cui storie sono rimaste ai margini della Storia.

„Un triumf literar.“ – The Times Amara era odată o fiică mult iubită, până când moartea tatălui ei a aruncat întreaga familie în sărăcie. Acum e sclavă la Sălașul Lupului, rău-famatul lupanar din orașul roman antic Pompeii, condus de un bărbat pe care îl disprețuiește. Perspicace, isteață și inventivă, Amara e silită să-și ascundă talentele. Fiindcă acum singura ei valoare este dorința pe care o poate stârni în bărbați. Dar sufletul Amarei e departe de a fi frânt. Zi de zi, bate străzile din Pompeii alături de celelalte femei de la Sălașul Lupului, găsind alinare în râsetele și visurile pe care le împărtășesc. Pentru că străzile din Pompeii sunt pline de oportunități. Acolo, până și sclavei celei mai umile soarta poate să-i surâdă. Amara a învățat că totul în orașul acesta are un preț. Dar oare cât o va costa propria libertate? Plasat în anul 74, în Pompeii, Lupanarul este primul volum al unei trilogii care înfățișează viețile unor femei ale căror voci au fost multă vreme trecute sub tăcere.
