Всичко за тази електронна книга

In " The Last Days of Pompeii" by the British writer Bulwer-Lytton, the great eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 is not the central theme but serves as the backdrop and climax of a work that deals with people and their relationships on the eve of the unexpected tragedy. Written in the 19th century in the romantic style, "The Last Days of Pompeii" offers a rich historical depiction, showcasing dietary habits, clothing, and more complex cultural aspects such as the diversity of people and customs in the city, and the conflicts between Greco-Roman religious beliefs and early Christianity. With characters shrouded in mystery, experiencing the impulses of love and heroism, it is a delightful read that captivates the reader.

За автора

Edward George Bulwer-Lytton (London, May 25, 1803 – Torquay, January 18, 1873) was an English writer, novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. He was immensely popular among readers and wrote a series of bestsellers that earned him a considerable fortune. He was also a Rosicrucian. Bulwer-Lytton is buried in Westminster Abbey.
Bulwer-Lytton was born on May 25, 1803, the son of General William Earle Bulwer and Elizabeth Barbara Lytton. He had two older brothers, William Earle Lytton Bulwer (1799–1877) and Henry Bulwer (1801–1872). When Edward was four years old, his father died, and his mother moved to London. He was a delicate and neurotic child, unhappy in most of the schools he attended. However, when he was fifteen, one of his teachers encouraged him to publish his first independent book, "Ishmael and Other Poems."
