  • google translate

    we’re working on how to do this multilingual global thing. in the meantime, if you want to read the Spanish posts and you don’t speak much Spanish, why not try the imperfect but reasonably accurate Google Translate?

It sounds like a great book: Virginia Woolf famously declared that human character changed in the year 1910; this dizzying survey of European history and culture before WWI elaborates. Historian Blom (Enlightening the World) examines every innovation of the…

  • Schastye / Le Bonheur, 1934

    Am I the only one who had never heard about this quirky and politically irreverent Russian silent movie written and directed by Alexandre Medvedkine in 1934?
