These are gorgeous.

I really like this russian edition of classic books. Letting famous artists do the covers in YA style was such a simple but clever decision. According to the recent study the number of teenage readers increased, possibly thanks to these covers. I own traditional classics with blank covers but if I ever see one of these in the wild, it’ll probably make me go feral.

Here are some of my favs:

Dracula (art by Renibet)

2.Jane Eyre (art by Ulunii)

3. Little women (art by чаки чаки)

4. The Idiot (the hedgehog-omg-) (art by Xinshi)

5. Pride and Prejudice (art by Cactusute)

6. War and Peace (art by Xinshi)

7. Wuthering Heights (art by Renibet)

8. The Great Gatsby (art by NIKEL)

9. Frankenstein (art by Iren Horrors)

10. Crime and Punishment (art by REDwood)

11. Anna Karenina (art by Ulunii)

12. The Cherry Orchard (art by lewisite)

13. The Master and Margarita (art by Renibet)

Carmilla please give me one chance I will let you drink my blood PLEADE PLEADE PLEASE let me have your children

[a-lady-and-her-quill]

To the little girl who faded with the dying light of October, 1922— My dearest Cecilia, It is with unbearable grief that I write to you. Each passing day, I am forced to reconcile with the weight of your absence, haunted by the silence you left behind. Although it wasn’t my hands that took your life, my heart aches with regret— because in the silence of my heart, I have convinced myself that it was my fault.

—A lady and her quill, Letters to dead children.

Sometimes I wish just to live in this frame of Pride and Prejudice.

I accept your absence, my love, but my soul cannot fathom a world without you. That is my confession.

No, more generally WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE PLANNING WITH THEIR FANTASY UNIVERSE

Because I say you: they are destroying it.

They started with LoK, creating all those Retcons and incoherences in characterization of the characters and plot that everyone with a working brain sees.

But everyone refuses to see It, because "Look, is modern now, Who cares if It is exagerated as progress and without the elements of the show, but a simple reconstruction of USA", "Look, the Korrasami, Who cares if Asami never had a real characterization and their relationship was forced like Makorra", and goes away, refusing to see the bad flaws and the seeds of destruction, like the Total inexistance of complex characterization, the lack of Real Adventures, and how all the Good things of the original show were cancelled.

And that because they wanted their Perfect Sci-Fi Show of their original plan!

Because the problem with Azula isn't the worst, o no.

The most damned thing in this comic, no in the majority of these comics, is that they are all boring! All things that could be Adventurous, Exotica, Fascinating and Fantasy are destroyed, all reduced to American Comedy and Super-Heroes' Tales! A lot of good ideas, but all simplified and understood under a single view: the Libertarian. Not a more Rich Presence of different Ideas like in AtlA, when socialist, liberal, distributist, even some conservative and libertarian views were present at the same time, in a dialogue when some of them found a conclusion good for everyone: It was all dominates by the view of American Libertarians Thinking! So, be progressive about you individuality, but when You're poor, probably is your fault. Social and cultural influences, imperialism? Suck them: they were simple illusions! And if you think differently, Well, your are just lies that you give to yourself and the other.

Frankly, first the Avatar Studios start a reboot of all their sources, starting with the comics and LoK, cancelling all the Retcons to the original lore, first the Studios will survive.

If they accept that they can't be te eternal mirror for two libertarians when they can masturbate about themselves thinking that they are making sex, the Avatar Studios and Avatar franchise Will survive.

But It will be problematic. And they will never do a similar thing.

We have to stop with fake deconstruction without purpose.

We have to stop with being fake progressives, Who accept everything that appear as progressive when It isn't in its substantial nature.

We have to see narrative as a way to tell stories, with some Rules.

We have to accept that Classical Literature should inspired us more than usually.

Di Martino and Konietzko made simple deconstruction After AtlA.

That's what we have. A boring spin off comic, with many incoherences and retcons of an important character.

[a-lady-and-her-quill]

"I love you. You may as well take my heart Catherine it's already full of you." "Please go!" "What is it? What's wrong my dear?" "You know nothing about me….you've known me only three weeks!" "Three weeks? Catherine I've known you all my life." "All your life?" "It's true, when I heard beautiful music I thought, 'she'd like that'. I looked at flowers knowing that one day I'd give them to you." "Oh stop, stop." "But for my heart there is another love that must come before you, my country."
