As it turns out, he spent much of his later life writing articles and stories for proto-pornographic magazines in Hollywood. We already know that Ed Wood (more or less) invented the genius-hack archetype in cinema, but that’s only half the story.

She explores what kind of town it was-more like Calcutta or the Costa del Sol?-and what it can tell us about “ordinary” life there. In The Fires of Vesuvius, acclaimed historian Mary Beard makes sense of the remains. But the eruptions are only part of the story. Yet it is also one of the most puzzling, with an intriguing and sometimes violent history, from the sixth century BCE to the present day.ĭestroyed by Vesuvius in 79 CE, the ruins of Pompeii offer the best evidence we have of life in the Roman Empire.
