helloooo Iliad fans out here on tumblr. I'm really wondering, what are your thoughts on Fury of Achilles 1962? So far I think it's really accurate in portraying most characters compared to other adaptations (like troy 2004 and 2018) And I'm directing a class play about the Iliad atm sooom do you guys think its a good media reference? Especially for costumes and character motivations and dynamics?

We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Author: Shirley Jackson
First published: 1962
Pages: 158
Rating: ★★★★☆
Considering how short this book is, it manages to swallow the reader up in one gulp. Weird and slightly creepy, it is unsettling and the characters of Constance and Merricat evoke both feelings of compassion and almost horror. It is also beautifully written. I only do wish it was longer, at least a little bit.
The Assassination of the Archduke: Sarajevo 1914 and the Romance that Changed the World
Author: Greg King, Sue Woolmans
First published: 2013
Pages: 432
Rating: ★★★★☆
As is his nature, Greg King spices up things a bit and focuses on the scandalous whenever he can. that said he can also tell a story in a quite balanced and engaging way. It is not easy to make Franz Ferdinand likeable, given his reputation, but somehow this book does make him worthy of (if nothing else) an actual pity. I suspect this is hardly an exhaustive work on the subject matter, but in my opinion, it is more than an appropriate gateway into the world of this controversial man, his family life and his untimely death.
The Silence of the Girls
Author: Pat Barker
First published: 2018
Pages: 325
Rating: ★★★★☆
This is a brutal book one should not pick up unless they are willing to take on the topics like sexual violence, dehumanization and slavery, as well as some graphic war imagery. It is quite faithful to the original myth and at the same time manages to stand on its own. I was glad to see a powerful female (even if forced into submission) character who manages to be strong without being forced to think and speak like a woman of our times (something many historical fiction books love to do and I despise). I was only a bit let down by the fact that as the book progresses this becomes a story about Achilles rather than the "girls" promised in the title. Why is he given a voice where so many other voices have not yet been heard? Perhaps I would not have been bothered if the bookÂŽs main selling point wasnÂŽt the "female view" of the Trojan war.

Toto dĂ­lko mělo spoustu velmi pěknĂœch ingrediencĂ­, z nichĆŸ bezpochyby nejzajĂ­mavějĆĄĂ­ bylo bohatĂ© vyuĆŸitĂ­ slovanskĂ©ho folklĂłru, bohuĆŸel nakonec se pƙeci jen celĂĄ kniha čte pro mne osobně pƙíliĆĄ "mladě". Jsem si vědoma toho, ĆŸe ve svĂœch 30+ letech nejsem cĂ­lovĂ© publikum, na druhou stranu dobrĂĄ kniha je dobrĂĄ kniha a na cĂ­lovĂœch skupinĂĄch by nemělo aĆŸ tak zĂĄleĆŸet. DruhĂĄ věc, kterĂĄ mne frustrovala byla mĂĄ neschopnost z knihy odvodit odpověď na otĂĄzku "Kde jsem?" a hlavně "KDY jsem???" Jak si pƙedstavit technologii či mĂłdu? V jakĂ©m jsme dějovĂ©m obdobĂ­??? Nikdy se mi to nepodaƙilo vypĂĄtrat. DobrĂœ nĂĄpad na pƙíběh, kterĂœ si zaslouĆŸil vĂ­ce propracovat.
We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World
Author: Malala Yousafzai
First published: 2018
Pages: 224
Rating: ★★★★★
This is one of those important books everybody should read right now. Timely, accessible and heartbreaking.
Theater Street
Edited by: Tamara Karsavina
First published: 1930
Pages: 362
Rating: ★★★★☆
A charming portrait of a culture and a lifestyle lost. Karsavina strikes one as a level-headed artist conscious of her great abilities and yet heaping praise and admiration on all others at the same time.
Love and Fury: A Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft
Author: Samantha Silva
First published: 2021
Pages: 317
Rating: ★★★★★
The fascinating life story of Mary Wollstonecraft is told rather than shown within the pages of this book, yet I cannot help but give it, at least for now, a very high rating. It was the experience of reading the book which I thoroughly enjoyed. What a fascinating person she must have been! The writing in this is beautiful, often bordering on swallowing the reader up in the visual poetry it conjures up.
The Archive of the Forgotten
Author: A.J. Hackwith
First published: 2020
Pages: 365
Rating: ★★★★★
I am enjoying the ride with this series so much! The characters, the humour, the touching moments and above all the respectful yet lively treatment of different cultures! Cannot wait for the third instalment.
Tell the Wolves I'm Home
Author: Carol Rifka Brunt
First published: 2012
Pages: 355
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
I suppose this book was just not for me. For one I went into it expecting a story dealing with the new, unknown and terrible disease which AIDS was back in the 80s (the terrible remains even today), but it turned out to be a mere backdrop for a troubled teen emotional learning curve. Not that in itself would not be a serious and interesting topic, but it was not the selling point of this book. The relationships seemed either cliché or plain weird (I am sorry, I did find the main characterŽs fixation with her uncle uncomfortable, even more so since she was 14, not 5). No, not for me at all.

The Downstairs Girls
Author: Stacey Lee
First published: 2019
Pages: 374
Rating: ★★★☆☆
I really enjoyed this one and would heartily recommend it to anyone craving a good historical fiction that touches upon not very familiar issues and is written in a very uncomplicated and straightforward way. To me the relationships between many a character felt a bit too convenient and more like something from a soap opera than bitter reality. I would have also liked more of the main character actually being a journalist and perhaps her columns and advice felt a bit too basic. Still, very readable and pleasant.

Cy Twombly au Centre Pompidou : ceci n'est pas du gribouillage !
Jusqu'au 24 avril 2017, le Centre Pompidou offre une immense rétrospective de l'artiste américain Cy Twombly. Une plongée mystérieuse dans la pratique controversée de l'art contemporain. 
La rĂ©trospective sur Cy Twombly a dĂ©butĂ© au Centre Pompidou depuis fin novembre. Si l'Ɠuvre de l'artiste reste grandement Ă©nigmatique, la mĂ©diation presque inexistante de l'exposition n'aide pas vraiment Ă  sa comprĂ©hension. Le parti-pris du commissaire d'exposition est celui de la couleur. Il nous amĂšne Ă  tracer l'Ă©volution de la pratique du peintre : du noir et blanc des dĂ©buts aux immenses explosions picturales de la fin. Le visiteur dĂ©ambule dans ces jets, dans ces gribouillis organiques oĂč l'abstraction prend toute sa mesure. Oui mais voilĂ , s'il n'est pas amateur de ce genre de transports, le spectateur caractĂ©risera inĂ©vitablement cet art d'enfantin. Parce que oui, Ă  premiĂšre vue, on peut comprendre que les Ɠuvres de Cy Twombly puissent laisser coi. Que nenni, l'artiste amĂ©ricain est un vĂ©ritable gĂ©nie, et on vous explique pourquoi.
Cy Twombly, un peintre chercheur
Cy Twombly (1928-2011) se rattache, dans ses premiers travaux, aux abstraits new-yorkais. Dans les annĂ©es 50, il commence Ă  expĂ©rimenter d'autres pratiques et se tourne vers les dessins automatiques. Il dessine dans le noir pour retrouver la libertĂ© du trait et empĂȘcher sa vision d’influencer son geste. Il mĂ©lange les outils sans distinction (craies grasses, huiles, pastels, crayons de couleurs), laissant libre court Ă  son intuition du tracĂ©. Ses recherches sur la place de l'instinct dans le travail artistique rythment ses productions. LĂ  commence sa reconnaissance. Le grand Roland Barthes trouve passionnant son emploi des mots et sa furie du trait. Il rĂ©dige la prĂ©face du catalogue lors de sa monographie en 1977 au Witney museum. Le monde de l'art contemporain accueille le plasticien Ă  bras ouverts et il dessinera, notamment, le plafond de la salle des peintres au Louvre en 2009.

Un travail influencĂ© par l’Histoire et les Arts
L'Ɠuvre de Cy Twombly puise ses fondements dans les rĂ©fĂ©rences multiples et infinies qui Ă©manent de ses toiles. C'est tout d'abord son rapport Ă  la mythologie antique qui interroge le regardeur. L'emploie des noms propres, de grandes lettres tracĂ©es renvoient, par l’évocation seule du nom, Ă  un univers extrĂȘmement connotĂ©. Lorsqu’il inscrit VĂ©nus sur sa toile, on comprend immĂ©diatement qu’il invoque l’amour ; quand il Ă©crit Apollo, tous les arts sont convoquĂ©s. Outre ces dĂ©marches littĂ©raires, la motivation crĂ©atrice de Cy Twombly rĂ©vĂšle un propos politique et engagĂ©. Il crĂ©e Ă  partir d'Ă©vĂ©nements marquants qui jettent sur la toile son indignation. Lors de l'assassinat de John F. Kennedy, en 1963, il rapproche, dans une sĂ©rie de neuf Ɠuvres, le climat de violence qui sĂ©vissait sous le rĂšgne de l'empereur romain Commode, aux annĂ©es 1960. D'autres sĂ©ries, plus gĂ©omĂ©triques, rappellent parfois des croquis d’ingĂ©nierie. Entre voyages dans l’espace et travaux prĂ©paratoires Ă  l’élaboration de machines, le progrĂšs cherche sa place. Les rĂ©fĂ©rences Ă  l’histoire de l’art sont multiples et assumĂ©es : Poussin pour le travail de la couleur, Monet dans les toiles aux fleurs. Vers la fin de sa vie, il se penche vers l’Orient et fait transparaĂźtre de vĂ©ritables aspirations japonisantes.

L'emploi des couleurs
Le dĂ©but des productions de l'artiste mise tout sur l'Ă©conomie de moyen : peinture industrielle blanche et mine de plomb. Le langage pictural en est abrupt, sĂ©vĂšre. Pourtant, la force chromatique incomprĂ©hensible qui transparaĂźt de ces toiles subjugue. Alors que la couleur apparaĂźt dans ses travaux, toute la puissance du monde semble s'Ă©veiller. Elle provoque un certain mysticisme Ă  qui accepte de se laisser embarquer par la sublime puissance organique de leur Ă©clats. Geysers frĂ©nĂ©tiques, brutalitĂ©s instinctives, orgies sensuelles, naturalitĂ© pure, Cy Twombly semble ĂȘtre allĂ© chercher ses couleurs au cƓur de la terre, au sein de nos cƓurs. Peut-ĂȘtre que ces transports sont dus Ă  la grandeur des formats qui semblent nous envelopper tout entier. Quoi qu'il en soit, les sensations viscĂ©rales tĂ©moignent d'un propos chromatique incroyable.

Le mythe du secret
La fascination de cet artiste difficilement abordable s'explique Ă©galement par la culture du secret qu'il a longuement entretenue. Peu de photographies ont Ă©tĂ© prises de lui, et il n’accordait pas d’entretien journalistique. Cy Twombly oriente l'interprĂ©tation sans jamais offrir de vĂ©ritables clĂ©s de lecture. Cette libertĂ© fait toute la puissance de l’Ɠuvre. Plus que jamais l’idĂ©e duchampienne affirmant que le spectateur fait l’Ɠuvre se vĂ©rifie.
Alors certes, le visiteur cabrĂ© n'y verra que gribouillis et moqueries, mais s'il est curieux, il apercevra la richesse qui se cache derriĂšre ces recherches chromatiques. Puissance du mot, mythologie, Ă©tudes du geste et justesse d'une couleur traitĂ©e avec brio transparaissent dans cette rĂ©trospective. Ces Ɠuvres sont magnifiques, oubliez vos a priori et laissez-vous porter !
