Notato dal direttore di Vanity Fair, gli vengono offerte quindici pagine sulla moda a Milano. Dal 1980 Hippolyte Romain  collabora a Libération, Rock and Folk, L’Express.

Hippolyte Romain, né le 28 août 1947 à Paris, est un illustrateur, peintre et écrivain français. Il travaille d'abord dans les milieux de la mode et de la couture, se spécialisé dans la connaissance du xviiie siècle, et sa vie et son travail se partagent entre la France et la Chine. Né dans le quartier de Montmartre, il travaille très jeune dans la charcuterie, comme représentant en salaisons, en même temps qu'il pratique le karaté et commence à dessiner pour vendre ses dessins dans les rues. Remarqué par la rédactrice en chef du magazine Vanity Fair, il se voit offrir quinze pages sur la mode à Milan. Il dessine dans les défilés et se lie avec les grands couturiers.

I join all people of goodwill in rejoicing with Prof Hippolite Amadi, a Nigerian Professor of Medical Engineering and Technology, for the breakthrough in the advancement of scientific knowledge in the area of health.

The quantum leap of his novel scientific work on respiratory technologies that keep newborn babies alive earned him the Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG)-sponsored annual award, worth $100,000

Prof Amadi's winning innovation themed, "Innovation for Enhancement of Healthcare Therapy," according to reports, comprises of Non-invasive Neonatal Ventilator (NIV); an Oxygen Delivery Blender System, and an Oxygen Splitter System, all powered by solar energy and aimed at reducing infant mortality by advancing Neonatal care in Nigeria and beyond. Such laudable innovations are highly encouraged for the growth and development of our health sector. I congratulate Prof. Amadi and thank him for his painstaking efforts in bringing this innovation to the limelight.

Nigeria, as I have maintained, is filled with great minds with different innovative ideas that can move the country forward if given good governance and ethical leadership. That is what we intend to offer.

A New innovative Nigeria is POssible.

I've been reading a bit more about Mikhail Lunin. And damn, his disregard for his safety and seeking danger, the way "boredom is worse for him than a wound". Sounds like ASPD traits fr.

His lover Hippolite Auger was apparently a huge cinnamon roll. Their dynamic sounds a lot like Sergey and Nijinsky in my fic 😅

I'm just always interested in the same kind of character, whether it's a modern comic or a Decemberist. Lestat or Bosie or Fyodor Basmanov 😅

[anthropologistfromentropy]

Besides, while definitely not the norm, sometimes some queer people were accepted at the time. Like Nadezhda Durova aka Alexander Alexandrov, who fought in the Napoleonic war and was allowed to legally transition. Tsar Alexander knew he was trans, gave him his name and a promotion. He published a memoir too, though the publisher changed the title to "Cavalry Maiden" smh. He did get misgendered by people, including Pushkin :(

There was also a gay couple at the time, a French guy (Hippolite Auger) who followed his Russian boyfriend (Mikhail Lunin) to Russia after the Napoleonic War. Later they moved to Paris, and Lunin wrote a gay historical novel about Dimitri the Pretender.

"how are they going to make a lesbian couple work? are they just going to live in shame and hide from their family and society? are they going to have a gay wedding in the 19th century? i don't have anything against gays but they're forgetting it's the regency era" oh you're worried about historical accuracy? on the "george iii loved his wife so much he ended racism" show?

Some details on the later life of Hippolyte Charles

Hippolyte Charles isn't talked about much - which is understandable, given that he only plays a very small role in the grand Napoleonic saga. But I like looking into the lives of these lesser historical figures, so I'm going to share some things I found on the trajectory of Charles' life after the end of his affair with Josephine.

This is not a summary of the entirety of his later life, rather a collection of anecdotes I find interesting.

Charles and Junot:

On 14 Ventôse, Year X (5 March 1802), he lent thirty thousand francs to Junot, then commander of a Paris, who, in acknowledging this sum, wrote to him: "You know very well that this service you are rendering me cannot add to my sincere friendship. If you have nothing better to do, come and have dinner with us on the 17th."

Charles and his biens nationaux (land taken from the church/nobility during the French Revolution):

Charles owned former biens nationaux. Its manager, having learned that he was willing to return some of these properties to the members of a Ruellant du Cirent family, wrote on 1 Thermidor, Year IX: "With regret, I will see you deprived of a beautiful and an advantageous investment of funds; but, if you think it necessary to make the sacrifice to the positions and misfortunes that balance the enjoyment of this good in your heart, I consider that, in order to reconcile your advantages and your generosity, you must limit this sacrifice to 8% loss of the auction price." To which Charles replied, after having fixed the terms of payment: "These are the conditions that I believe to be just and reasonable; they have been dictated to me by the interest I take in an unfortunate family and by the desire I have to see them regain possession of property which unfortunate circumstances had taken from them. I like to believe that these conditions will be accepted and that the former owner will see that his interests are more taken care of than mine." This letter proves, without question, the disinterestedness of Hippolyte Charles and the delicacy of his feelings.

Charles and Napoleon:

As early as 1801, definitively separated from [Josephine], he sought to return to service. He turned to Leclerc, who was preparing the expedition to Saint-Domingue. Bonaparte's brother-in-law granted his request; he wrote, on 30 Brumaire, Year X (November 11, 1801) "To citizen Hippolite (sic), captain of the hussars, Go to Brest, where I will give you new orders." But it is probable that the First Consul opposed a measure of reinstatement in favor of the former aide-de-camp, to whom he has always held a certain grudge.  [...] However, in the time of his omnipotence, Napoleon never disturbed his former love rival, either in his person, or in his possessions; No police file has ever been drawn up in his name.

Charles and Josephine:

While he was residing in Cassan, Charles learned of the death of Josephine. Since the middle of October, 1799, he had never seen her again, not even after her painful divorce. For some time he had continued to correspond with her, but only to issues of interest. 

Charles' life after the Empire:

Forced to sell Cassan, the former chatelain retired to Paris, 52, rue de Clichy, after having lived at 118, rue Saint-Lazare, then 45, rue Joubert. There he lived in a cohabitation with a young mistress with whom he had a daughter, who died unmarried. Afterwards, Charles returned to Romans and in 1820 bought the chateau de Génissieux, a few kilometres from the place of his birth. The former captain of hussars had retained a love of thoroughbred horses; in his stables, he had always some reputed thoroughbred; one of them served as a model for Carle Vernet for one of his paintings.

The death of Charles:

He died at Génissieux, aged sixty-four, on March 9, 1837. Two days later, his body was buried in Romans, in the old and picturesque cemetery of Recollets. [...] On his deathbed, Charles expressed the delicate desire that the love letters which his passionate lover had written to him, and which he had preciously preserved throughout his life, were destroyed.

shoutout to andrei semyonovich lebezyatnikov being one of the most underappreciated ruslit characters like... almost no one ever talks about him, neither critics or literature teachers (in our school tho we did discuss lebezyatnikov as "another counterpart of raskolnikov along with luzhin and svidrigailov" but as far as i know he's seldom mentioned and even considered as raskolnikov's counterpart). but he does play a part in the plot??? and is a reflection of social movements and ideas of his time???? to begin with, there was a common trope in russian literature: a character who tries to be "progressive and woke" but is actually not, who is shown as foolish, fake and inconsistent in their beliefs, who criticizes the "rotten society" but actually is a part of it; is often a parody of the protagonist - who is indeed progressive and smart and revolutionary and misunderstood and so on (bonus points if they admire the protagonist and try to copy him) we can see this trope in griboyedov's play "woe from wit" (repetilov - a parody on chatsky), turgenev's novel "fathers and sons" (sitnikov and kukshina - wannabe nihilists as opposed to bazarov though kukshina is a literal queen she slays), and dostoyevsky's later works - "the idiot" (hippolite terentyev's gang) and "demons" (verkhovensky's circle); maybe grushnitsky from "a hero of our time" can be counted too, he fits all the traits but he's obsessed with byronism not politics and is treated more seriously

when we first see lebezyatnikov in p5c1, it's exactly how he is presented like: silly and pathetic, with unattractive features, described with usage of very strong and borderline offensive language (how do you like "half-animate abortion"?), dramatic and self-righteous to the point he looks ridiculous... his surname comes from russian word "лебезить" [lebezit] - "to fawn on somebody" sometimes he has a point but some his takes are harmful (beating a woman with tuberculosis because "he seeks equality in fighting !!!" defending prostitution and saying it is empowerment and protest !!! while not knowing how sonya is suffering); even though he has sincere good intentions his ideology, like that of many 1860s-70s russian nihilists, is based on the ideas of nikolai chernyshevsky and his novel "what is to be done" (and other utopian socialists) but inverted and satirized the part where he defends freedom in marriage and "deceptions" ("Your wife will only prove how she respects you by considering you incapable of opposing her happiness and avenging yourself on her for her new husband...if I were to marry, ...I should present my wife with a lover if she had not found one for herself.") is a reference to "what is to be done" and chernyshevsky's own personal life - in witbd the main heroine tells her husband that she is in love with another man, and her husband pretends to commit suicide so that she would be formally a widow and able to marry her lover the "it’s an insult to a woman for a man to kiss her hand" line is also a direct reference to witbd (sorry for the spoilers btw witbd is quite an underaprecciated book if i ever reread it i ought to make a post about it) - chernyshevsky himself had a complicated relationship with his wife; he worshipped her, always put her interests above himself and let her make all the decisions in their family life, while she saw him only as a friend and a chance to escape from her abusive family; chernyshevsky said that if she liked someone else he'd forgive her and suffer in silence but would always forgive her if she came back SORRY what is to be DONE WITH CHERNYSHEVSKY LET'S GET BACK TO THE POINT. YEAH LEBEZYATNIKOV his description is summed up in this line: "one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion only to vulgarise it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely" but there's one important thing. he takes a step ahead. he protects sonya marmeladova!! and accuses luzhin of slandering her, explaining what actually happened and giving proof of luzhin's vileness!! (and later on he also helps sonya and rodion find katerina ivanovna mad and near death from her illness...) even katerina ivanovna says he was sent by god - for saving sonya's honour. the one who desires to fight for equality but doesn't know how and only makes a fool of himself in other characters' and author's eyes - he actually protects the weak, silent and oppressed. no parody sidekick has ever had such a character development, no trying-to-be-progressive character before had a chance to step out of their stereotype and do something good for another person or for the society this scene makes me so happy, not only because i love seeing someone protecting my beloved sonya but it also has a deeply personal meaning to me

i was also concerned about equality, freedom and perfecting the society and all such things, and ofc had confrontations with others regarding my opinions like all of us probably do, but in the end i always looked stupid, uneducated and worthless as i could never shut up, cried when i lost an argument and did nothing but whine about how things are unfair but never knew what to do to change it and so i thought: i don't deserve to call myself a profeminist and a liberal, i am not good enough i wanted to relate to strong-willed, enlightened, revolutionary characters like chatsky and rakhmetov, but i knew that i was a repetilov, a sitnikov, a lebezyatnikov - an useless caricature who is a shame to their ideology

and when i first read the scene where lebezyatnikov protects sonya, it made me genuinely happy to see how somebody who was viewed as an "useless and fake progressist" could also be a help to somebody and become a better person... it made me feel like i'm not worthless too, like im capable of such a character development and maybe even change someone's life for the better too.... ;;;;;

sorry it ended up too long and too personal and whiny in the end ... :c anyway i hope you did enjoy reading this or find something interesting

have a nice day!! <3

O idiota - Audiolivro Completo

Análise do livro por Tatiana Feltrin

Sinopse: O príncipe Myshkin retorna da Suíça para a Rússia, onde foi tratado de uma doença mental por vários anos. Em São Petersburgo, ele acaba na casa de seus parentes distantes. Ele se vê em um ciclo de paixões e intrigas.

Sinopse: No rol dos personagens do universo de Fyodor Dostoiévski, o príncipe Liev Nikoláievitch Míchkin, ou apenas Idiota, é certamente aquele mais complexo e que suscita os mais diversos sentimentos em seu leitor, restando pouco espaço para a indiferença. A combinação ‘explosiva’ com os demais personagens da trama como Nastácia Filíppovna, Rogójin, Hippolit entre outros faz de o Idiota um romance merecedor da alcunha de clássico. A presente série é a versão cinematográfica mais completa e fidedigna já realizada até o momento, abrangendo a obra literária em sua totalidade. As locações, o requintado aprumo no figurino, as atuações tão próximas ao que o romancista russo desejou expressar, assim como o próprio roteiro são os pontos merecedores de destaque. É para os admiradores mais exigentes de Dostoiévski renderem homenagens sinceras.

Well, maybe not fucking lol. But intentionally queer coded? Not that unlikely tbh

(In case it doesn’t show it, it's "Queer Tolstoy: A psychobiography")

Also there was an openly gay couple just after the Napoleonic War, Mikhail Lunin and Hippolite Auger (the latter French). Mikhail Lunin actually published a gay historical novel about Dmitry the Pretender.

There was also an openly trans man, Alexander Alexandrov/Nadezhda Durova who served in the Napoleonic War. Alexander I knew he was trans and gave him his name and a promotion. Pushkin wrote a preface for his memoir, The Cavalry Maiden, tho he and everyone misgendered Alexander.

Still, it doesn’t seem like Russia has always been hatefully, violently homophobic. There actually were queer people writing queer literature in the 1800s. It was pretty much just Stalin who fucked things.

guy who’s only ever read gay fanfic: this 19th century russian novel reminds me of gay fanfic. pierre and andrei are fucking btw

The Water Tower House, located in Seal Beach, California, is a remarkable example of adaptive reuse in architecture.

Originally built in 1892, this historic water tower was designed to supply water to steam engines operating along the Pacific Railway.

Over the years, it has undergone significant transformations, ultimately becoming a unique residential property.

The water tower stands 87 feet tall and has a storied past.

After falling into disrepair by the 1980s, it was at risk of demolition due to termite damage and graffiti.

However, George Armstrong, a math professor at Long Beach City College, intervened. He purchased the tower, dismantled it, and then reconstructed it as a three-floor home, preserving its historical significance while adapting it for modern living.

The Water Tower House boasts a variety of impressive features:

Living Space: The home encompasses approximately 2,800 square feet, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

It includes a unique layout that integrates the original tower structure with modern amenities.

Elevator Access: An elevator provides access to the upper levels, making it convenient for residents and guests.

Panoramic Views: The top level features a wraparound deck that offers 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, beaches, and mountains, making it a stunning spot for relaxation and entertainment .

Unique Design Elements: The interior includes a kitchen, a "party room," and even a rotating bathroom. There are also nautical-themed touches, such as a porthole window in one of the bedrooms, which is dedicated to the 19th-century pirate Hippolite de Bouchard.

The Water Tower House has become a beloved landmark in the Seal Beach area, attracting both locals and tourists.

Its transformation from a dilapidated structure to a luxurious residence highlights the importance of preserving historical sites while adapting them for contemporary use. The house is also available for vacation rentals, allowing visitors to experience its unique charm firsthand.

The Water Tower House in Seal Beach is not just a home; it is a piece of local history that showcases innovative architectural reuse, offering a blend of nostalgia and modern living in a picturesque coastal setting.

i dont want to disturb you in your dms but whats the book about dmitry written by mikhail lunin?

Unfortunately none of the sources has mentioned it! I would love to read it too! I will tell you if I find out lol

Here's his Wikipedia page tho, if you want to go on a research rabbit hole yourself. The conversion to Catholicism section talks about his relationship with Auger.

There is a source for Auger's memoir tho, if you are interested:

Daniel Thalheim In der Kunstgeschichte ist das 19. Jahrhundert geprägt von Individualismus und der Entwicklung neuer Ausdrucksformen und Gattungen. Bis zur Französischen Revolution prägten Adel und Klerus v.a. wie Kunst auszusehen hatte und welche Botschaften in die Welt getragen werden sollen.
