Fed up with the dreary stiffness and dull ceremony of Rome, the Greek aristocrat Glaucus moves to the vibrant seaside town of Pompeii, a jewel of ancient civilization. There, he falls head over heels in love with the young Ione. His feelings are mutual, but the girl's guardian, the Egyptian priest Arbaces, has his own sights set on his ward and will not tolerate a rival. Little do the young couple suspect that their happiness and lives are threatened by a danger far more terrible than the treacherous Egyptian...

Inspired by Karl Bryullov's famous painting, the novel itself achieved considerable popularity. It has been reprinted numerous times, adapted for stage and screen, and today deservedly ranks among the most outstanding literary works of the Victorian period.
