His works included Falkland, Pelham, Eugene Aram, The Last Days of Pompei, Ernest Maltravers, Zanoni, The Last of the Barons, The Caxtons, and A Strange Story. He also published several volumes of poetry including Ismael and The New Timon. His best known play was The Lady of Lyons. He served as the Secretary of State for the Colonies in from 1858 to 1859 and played a large part in the organization of the new colony of British Columbia. He became Baron Lytton of Knebworth in July 1866 and thereafter took his place in the House of Peers. He died on May 23, 1873, just short of his 70th birthday. The cause of death was not clear but it was thought that an infection he had in his ear had affected his brain. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Courte biographie
Edward Bulwer changed his surname to Bulwer-Lytton in 1844 at the request of his mother, and was created first Baron Lytton in 1866. He was a popular writer who coined several phrases that would go on to become clichés, including the opening line to his 1830 novel Paul Clifford, "It was a dark and stormy night." His name lives on in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, in which the contestants craft bad openings for imaginary novels.

Un jeune et riche Athénien, Glaucus, aime Ione, la pupille d'Arbacès, prêtre égyptien perfide et corrompu. Arbacès s'oppose à leur mariage, car, lui aussi secrètement, aime Ione. Il tue d'abord le frère de la jeune fille, qui a pénétré ses impostures, et calomnie Glaucus qui est condamné aux bêtes. C'est le moment que choisi Nydia, une jeune aveugle qui lui doit la vie et la liberté, pour lui prouver sa reconnaissance.... Et, surplombant la cité, comme une menace permanente, le Vésuve annonce par quelques sourds grondements la catastrophe finale...… (plus d'informations)
