In the year 79 of the Christian Era, Vesuvius spewed its destructive lava through the streets of what had become the recreational capital of the Roman Empire. Under this desolate blanket of mortality and charred bodies, several centuries later the politician, playwright and novelist Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton (London, 1803- Turkey, 1873) found - nestled among the dust arising from the bowels of the earth - the intense story of a Greek with honor, a beautiful follower of a corrupt sect, a Machiavellian Egyptian priest, a fragile and tragic blind slave and a gladiator with chiseled muscles and a good heart. The British parliamentarian baptized this plot born of chaos as The Last Days of Pompeii and, since its publication in 1834, success has never abandoned this example of Anglo-Saxon romanticism.
