The Last Days of Pompeii

(Nelson Doubleday Jan. 1, 1946) , Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Edition
Book Club edition, dust jacket has mosaic. In what is recognized as one of the most penetrating views of Roman Life, Sir Edward makes Pompeii live again--showing its gardens and temples, its wealthy and its poor, its banquets, orgies and brutal gladiatorial combats. This vivid tapestry is the background for the exciting story of the lovers Glaucus and Ione...the devoted slave Nydia...Arbaces, the wicked Egyptian priest...and a host of other characters who play out their parts in a great human drama, unaware of the catastrophe that is about to consume them.
