The Last Days of Pompeii

Set against the dazzling backdrop of ancient Pompeii, Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s classic novel follows the young Athenian Glaucus as he enjoys a life of luxury, love, and ambition—unaware that catastrophe is drawing near. His world becomes entangled with the mysterious Egyptian Arbaces, the beautiful Ione, and the devoted blind girl Nydia, whose lives are shaped by passion, jealousy, and hidden desires.
As rivalries intensify and the city’s carefree existence is threatened by ominous signs, the shadow of Mount Vesuvius grows ever darker. When the volcano finally erupts, Pompeii is plunged into chaos, forcing its inhabitants to fight for survival amid fire, ash, and destruction.
Combining romance, adventure, mystery, and historical drama, The Last Days of Pompeii brings a vanished civilization vividly to life—and captures the unforgettable moment when a world on the brink of disaster is buried beneath the fury of nature.

 The Last Days of Pompeii is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1892.
