Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel, "The Last Days of Pompeii," draws inspiration from Karl Briullov's renowned painting. The narrative vividly recounts the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its devastating impact on the ancient city. Through its characters, the book contrasts the opulent and decadent Roman culture of the 1st century with older civilizations and emerging societal trends.
