Leer másLos últimos días de Pompeya, novela escrita por Edward Bulwer Lytton en 1834, es una de las más importantes novelas históricas del romanticismo inglés y narra los últimos días de la vida de unos cuantos habitantes de Pompeya, inmediatamente antes de la destrucción de la ciudad que provocó la erupción del Vesubio en el año 79 de nuestra era. Los personajes de este libro muestran la cultura de la Roma Antigua del siglo I. El protagonista, Glauco, representa la cultura griega, que ha sido subordinada por Roma, y Arbaces, su oponente, la antiquísima e inmóvil cultura egipcia. Dione es sacerdotisa del culto de Isis; y Olintho es el principal representante de la religión cristiana naciente, que se presenta bajo una mirada favorable pero no exenta de crítica. La maga del Vesubio, aunque no posee poderes sobrenaturales, nos muestra el interés de Bulwer-Lytton en el ocultismo, tema en el que se centraría parte de su obra y, en particular, su última novela, titulada La raza futura.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (London, 1803 – Torquay, 1873) was a prolific novelist, playwright, and British politician, prominent in the Victorian period. He cultivated various literary genres, including historical novels, Gothic romance, and science fiction. Among his most recognized works is The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), a historical novel set in the ancient Roman city before its destruction by the eruption of Vesuvius. Other notable works include Zanoni (1842), The Haunted and the Haunters (1859), and The Coming Race (1871), also known as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race.

Bulwer-Lytton is remembered for coining famous phrases such as "The pen is mightier than the sword" and for the famous opening "It was a dark and stormy night" in his novel Paul Clifford (1830). His influence endures in literature and popular culture, and his legacy has been the subject of study and revaluation in contemporary literary criticism.
