Pompeii is historical fiction at its most addictive. Part of Folio’s Robert Harris series, alongside Fatherland, this edition features stunning illustrations by Robert Carter—perfect for fans of ancient Rome’s drama.

In this masterful thriller we are transported to the last days of Pompeii, as Mount Vesuvius shakes the very foundations of the Roman Empire.​

Told through the eyes of four characters – an aqueduct engineer, an adolescent girl, a corrupt millionaire and an elderly scientist – Pompeii is a fascinating work of historical fiction and a nail-biting thriller. ​

Folio has teamed up with series artist Robert Carter to create the very first illustrated edition of the novel. With a spectacular binding that depicts the mighty eruption and six full-colour illustrations, this is an enviable edition for Robert Harris fans to add to their collection.
