- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not a story so much about the Pompeii volcanic event, but a love story set in Pompeii in the months leading up to the eruption and eventual destruction of Pompeii. Long rambling soliloquys concerning religions, personal feelings, descriptions of the busy life of the times in that city.For a modern reader, can be very boring (I merely scanned much of these passages that often ran two or more pages). The love story itself in interesting and there is great flavor of the times. Dialogue is Shakespearean... thee, thow, dost.... I recommend based on the historic interest of the. book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Waaaay better than I thought!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Wordy, broadly descriptive prose was fashionable once in the world. Even for that time, Bulwer-Lytton in this work is exessive. He does carry the plot pretty well, though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5904 The Last Days of Pompeii, by Sir Edward G. E. Bulwer-Lytton (read 4 Jul 1967) When I finished this I said "though the description is so overdone, and the plot rather creaking, I was caught up by both: description and story. Glaucus, an Athenian in Pompeii, loves Ione, as does Arbaces, an Egyptian of evil. Nydia, a blind slave, also loves Glaucus. Arbaces kills Apaecides, brother of Ione, who has become a Christian, and then blames the killing on Glaucus who had been temporarily crazed by a supposed love potion given him by Nydia--after Nydia took it from Julia, who had gotten it from a witch at Arbaces' urging. Glaucus is to be devoured by a lion on the day Vesuvius erupts." To illustrate the fulsome style: "The eyes of the crowd followed the gesture of the Egyptian, and beheld, with ineffable dismay, a vast vapour shooting from the summit of Vesuvius, in the form of a gigantic pine-tree, the trunk, blackness,--the branches, fire!--and a fire that shifted and wavered in its hues with every moment, now fiercely luminous, now of a dull and dying red, that again blazed terrifically forth with intolerable glare!" I will not soon forget this awesome book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A romance with a classical setting, this is (sort of) the story of two expatriate Greeks who discover each other while living in Pompeii. It is also the story of how Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of the volcano, Vesuvius. Daily life of the residents is described-from banquets to baths-as well as some of the religious aspects of life in this time period (first century CE). Apparently the author based his book on the excavations of Pompeii, because he frequently mentions that you can see there the houses and other objects which appear in the story. It is a slow-moving tale, with many side trips, but some readers will forgive all when the bad guys get what they deserve and the good guys live happily ever after.
