IT was towards the evening of a day in early April that two ladies were seated by the open windows of a cottage in Devonshire. The lawn before them was gay with evergreens, relieved by the first few flowers and fresh turf of the reviving spring; and at a distance, through an opening amongst the trees, the sea, blue and tranquil, bounded the view, and contrasted the more confined and home-like features of the scene. It was a spot remote, sequestered, shut out from the business and pleasures of the world; as such it suited the tastes and character of the owner.That owner was the younger of the ladies seated by the window. You would scarcely have guessed, from her appearance, that she was more than seven or eight and twenty, though she exceeded by four or five years that critical boundary in the life of beauty.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was a prolific novelist, poet and playwright in his day; in modern times, his work is considered much as Lovecraft described: large doses of turgid rhetoric and empty romanticism.Originally published in 1834, "The Last Days of Pompeii" itself was probably the first novelization of the catastrophic event. The city was rediscovered in the mid-1700s and archaeological excavations followed soon after. Bulwer-Lytton was inspired to write his novel by the painting The Last Day of Pompeii by Karl Briullov, painted in the early 1830s."The Last Days of Pompeii" tells the story of the Athenian Glaucus, his love, the beautiful Ione, and a blind flower-girl Nydia, who is secretly in love with Glaucus. Threatening the love of Glaucus and Ione is Iones guardian, the decadent and deceitful Egyptian Arbaces, who lusts after Ione himself.The descriptions of the city itself are fascinating: Bulwer-Lytton seems to have spent much time researching the actual ruins of Pompeii, and his characters are housed in buildings that had apparently been uncovered in archaeological excavations."The Last Days of Pompeii" was one of the most popular English historical novels of the nineteenth century.
Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei e un romanzo scritto da Edward Bulwer-Lytton nel 1834. Nel romanzo prendono vita i piu variegati personaggi della Pompei dellanno 79 d.C., citta gaudente e spensierata, che trascorre la vita di tutti i giorni fra i bagni e lanfiteatro, ignara della catastrofe incombente. La forza violenta e devastatrice del vulcano livellera tutti i ceti sociali, nobili e plebei, ricchi e poveri, coprendo sotto una coltre di magma incandescente, amori e rivalita, cupidigie e dissolutezze umane.
Sir Bulwer Lytton, autor de la célebre novela: -Los últimos días de Pompeya-, introdujo en su también conocida obra: - Zanoni-, todo el conocimiento de los arcanos ocultistas que encontró en su vida aventurera. Relato misterioso y apasionante que ya es un clasico sin parangon en la literatura ocultista.
In the year 18 I settled as a physician at one of the wealthiest of our great English towns, which I will designate by the initial L?. I was yet young, but I had acquired some reputation by a professional work, which is, I believe, still amongst the received authorities on the subject of which it treats. I had studied at Edinburgh and at Paris, and had borne away from both those illustrious schools of medicine whatever guarantees for future distinction the praise of professors may concede to the ambition of students. On becoming a member of the College of Physicians, I made a tour of the principal cities of Europe, taking letters of introduction to eminent medical men, and gathering from many theories and modes of treatment hints to enlarge the foundations of unprejudiced and comprehensive practice.
