The Last Days of Pompeii by Lord Lytton
A chance to explore a writer who was at the centre of Victorian political and social society, a friend of Disraeli and Dickens. Written while staying on the site in Italy, Lytton's impeccable research makes his imaginative recreation of Roman, Greek and Egyptian characters caught up in the world famous disaster something that has never been bettered.
