A proposito di questo titolo
 Last Days of Pompeii is a captivating novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, penned in 1834. Once a bestseller, this literary gem has faded into obscurity, yet it vividly depicts the catastrophic destruction of Pompeii following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Through its rich characters, the novel explores the contrasts between the opulent lifestyle of first-century Rome and the ancient cultures that preceded it, as well as the emerging societal trends. The protagonist, Glaucus, embodies the Greek spirit overshadowed by Roman dominance, while his rival, Arbaces, symbolizes the enduring legacy of Egypt. Additionally, Olinthus represents the budding Christian faith, portrayed with both admiration and critical insight.
