Synopsis
This book introduces 'Pompeii', an exclusive international club founded on the site of the ruined ancient city. The club is the brainchild of Mr Smythe, a prominent member of London Society, and Lady Marlowe, an enterprising member of Society who boasts that you met a greater number of nice people at her parties than at any other house in London. The club is conceived as an earthly paradise with snug chambers and noble halls, mosaic and marble, breezy spaces, and tiny streets, planned by the best architects and filled with the brilliant life of charming people. But this book is more than just an architectural description of an exclusive club for the elite; it considers some of the characters and relationships of those who join. The author positions the club within the broader historical context of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, whose ruins serve as the inspiration for the club. At the same time, through the stories of its members, this book explores themes of social change, ambition, wealth, happiness, and the search for something more in life.
