Early in his path, he used to work as a portraitist on Arbat Street in order earn some income during the crisis period in Russia.

Niou Taiknolog1e: Geekeries & Cie Social Media Propaganda Vintage Posters I’m a big fan of propaganda. Ok, perhaps that didn’t come out right. I’m highly interested in the emotions invoked from strong imagery that propaganda brings, especially WWII vintage posters. That’s probably what gravitated me to this series of retro social media propaganda posters, brought to us by the fine folks at Brazilian ad agency Moma Propaganda What’s your favorite retro poster? Let me know in the comments. We Find Wildness The Most Playful Libraries in the World Architect Moon Hoon designed the Panorama House in South Korea, which features a multi-functional library.

The cherry blossom girl To Re-Read: To Read…. and Then….. Read Again :) | Book Journey I have seen a couple posts as of late on re-reading. It really got me thinking about this as book lovers, who usually have more books in-house and on our wish list then we could ever hope to read… what makes people like us drop everything to read a book again? Certainly you can not have that same “first time” experience again…. yet I am betting each and every one of us has at least one go to book that they hang on to and know they could read it again and again and love it every time. So why? For me, I get something a little more out of a book each time I read it. I may pick up something I missed before, or now knowing how it all turns out, words can take on new meaning, and I can appreciate the author even more for a turn of a phrase, or a clue to something coming that at the time… I did not realize was a clue of things to come. I refer to books like these as comfort reads. What makes me turn to these books, when again, I am surrounded by lovely books yet to be read… Like this:

Åsne Seierstad Da Åsne Seierstad flyttet til St. Petersburg hadde hun studert russisk og leste «Idioten» av Fjodor Dostojevskij både på norsk og russisk. – Mens jeg gikk ved broene i byen, følte jeg meg litt som Dostojevskij. Årets beste bok: Vigdis Hjorths «Arv og miljø». – Når bøker blir satt under debatt, slik denne boken ble, måtte jeg lese den for å vite hva den handler om. 2. «Kranes Konditori» av Cora Sandel, eller Sara Fabricius som hun egentlig heter. Romanen handler om en ulykkelig kvinne som sitter og drikker på Kranes Konditori sammen med en svensk raller som det er helt upassende å henge med. – Hun vokste opp i samme by som meg, Tromsø. – Det jeg spesielt liker er måten hovedpersonen blir sett gjennom borgerskapets tittende og kommenterende synsvinkel. Årets beste bok: «Livlegens besøk» av Per Olov Enquist Den historiske romanen handler om en dramatisk begivenhet rundt 1770, da kongen av Danmark-Norge ble sinnssyk og ikke lenger kunne styre. 3. 4. – Den var et feilkjøp. 5.
