Ivan Yefremov - The Heart of the Snake (Bulgaria, 1983)

artist: Tekla Aleksieva

[reimsdom]

Das ist eine der seltsamsten Verfilmungen, weil sie bei mir nur Assoziationen mit den Olympischen Spielen 1936 weckt. Aber ich liebe Veda Kong seit meiner Kindheit.

Tag Game: 3 songs, 3 books, 3 movies

I was tagged by @st-eve-barnes Thank you so much! And sorry it took me so long to do it. What made it so hard - I didn't know whether it is about the last ones, or the best ones, so I made a mix

Songs:

-Never Gonna Not Dance Again- Pink (my good mood song of now)

-Out of Space - Prodigy ( I love Prodigy, they are classics and they are gorgeous)

-Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Marusha (Marusha is amasing, she is a power-woman and so talented!!! I have heard her live in Loveparade in Berlin and it was mind-blowing and I don't care how long ago it was - nobody has managed to overshadow her for me)

Books:

-Dune Messiah - Frank Herbert ( it's what I'm reading right now anticipating the Dune2 movie and it is soooo gooood!!!)

- The Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan (another great fantasy books I'm reading in between)

- Thais of Athens - Ivan Yefremov (a book by Russian writer that has incredibly influenced the way I look at the world. I read it when I was like 15 years old and I read it in Russian (yes, it's one of the languages I master) - it is gorgeous and it's written in 1973 before I was even born, handling themes like sexuality, religion, feminism etc. and all that in times when sexuality didn't even exist under Soviet regime. It is a journey into the inner world of a woman and I can only say Chapeau to the man, who was not afraid and able to depict it in such a way in time where you actually could got in jail for that. I have no idea how good the translation in English are, but this book is a jewel)

Movies (last ones I watched and really enjoyed):

-John Wick 4

-Barbie

-Oppenheimer

I'm not the anon who asked 2ha...but can I ask the same question (top fav characters and fav moments) for one of your all time top 10 fav novels? Thanks....

Hi, I'm the anon who asked the ask above....If you don't mind can I just ask your top 10 fav books (fiction)? And why you love them? Thanks so much...Sorry if I ask again, I love reading your answers....

You're one of the rare person in tumblr (that I know of) that really dive in all kind of fandoms not just stick to one...and it's so refreshing....Thanks so much for your blog....Love it...🤩

Awww, thank you! I am gonna limit myself to one book (or one series) by an author or this list will be only Jorge Amado, Dorothy Dunnett and Erich Maria Remarque, and here are the ones that come to mind atm though the moment I click post, I bet I will go, I forgot X argh! No order and I am gonna do dozen because I am incapable of narrowing:

Erich Maria Remarque, Three Comrades - I have loved every Remarque novel that I've ever read (Night in Lisbon and Triumphal Arc especially) but nothing compares with Three Comrades to me - the friendship, the sense of the world utterly falling apart, and the discovery of love in this mess, but love that can only be doomed. That brutal, bleak, appallingly hopeless ending is something I can still recite word for word. There is nothing glorious or romantic about death, just ugliness and loss and the end of the world. Fuck. I am sniffling again.

Dorothy Dunnett, The Lymond Chronicles - this is my favorite set of novels ever. Smart, passionate, twisty, with amazing characters, feeling of being in another world and so much intensity and pain. (They are very different in most ways, but she and Meatbun are the only ones who've ever been able to eviscerate me utterly.) If I could pick more than one work by an author, her gorgeous, grim King Hereafter would also be on the list.

Jorge Amado, Teresa Batista, Home from the Wars - this is not his most well known novel (that would probably be Gabriela Cloves and Cinnamon or Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, which are amazing) but it is my favorite. It reads like poetry and combines such utter horror (this book needs a trigger warning list the size of my arm) with such hope and strength of the main character.

Ivan Yefremov, Thais of Athens - I read it as a tween, glued the way I never was before. This is on the list because no novel transported me this hard to another world, this one an idealized version of Ancient Greece - this is the closest I've ever come to being in a time machine.

Emile Zola, Les Rougon-Macquart - this is a 20 novel series that encompasses both some super famous novels (Germinal, Nana) and some less known ones, but together it is such an incredible, thorough portrayal of second-half of 19th century France - its every facet, every class, every environment. The word "epic" gets thrown around a lot, but this is a unique case where it's deserved. It is full of screwed up characters and relationships as well as heroic ones, and I like some novels more than others but the whole thing is an insane achievement.

Leon Feuchtwanger, The Spanish Ballad - Feuchtwanger's most famous novel is Jew Suss, but my favorite is this story about the love affair between Spanish King Alfonso VIII and his mistress Raquel. The examination of passion versus ideals of glory is so good and it has my favorite concept of repentance and realization that comes too late. As Alfonso admits, to his confessor's horror, he loved Raquel "more than my immortal soul," but he left her to chase empty military glory (which he did not get, he was routed) not knowing his happiness was already within his arms and he realizes it will never come again...

Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat, The Dumb Husky and His White Cat Shizun (2ha) -I am not going over it again since I've posted about it way too much but there is a reason this is the sole web novel on this list. It's a fucking masterpiece go read it blah blah.

Hilary Mantel, A Place of Greater Safety - this is a glorious, complex novel about the French Revolution that I loved enough to have scribbled quotes from it all over in my notebooks...

Stanislaw Lem, Return from the Stars - Lem's most famous work is probably Solaris (and it's amazing) but I am clearly keeping my track record of picking the less known works. This is a story of astronauts who return to the world that has moved on (which they knew) but also that world that eliminated danger and heroism both, and the protagonist finds himself adrift - with PTSD from past horrors but unmoored in this bland, overly safe world, is just so amazing. He finds his meaning through love of a woman, but it's not perfect and compromise with that society and there is no easy way out of it all, just best way available to you.

Strugatskii Brothers, It's Hard to Be a God - perhaps the best take on why time traveling to the much earlier period of history won't create progress but just fuck you up instead. Its take on morality, historical progress, and the toll it takes to be a dispassionate observer is amazing.

Njal's Saga - not a novel strictly speaking but whatever. This is a famous Icelandic saga and I love it for a glimpse into a whole other world and the poetic feeling and Gunnar my crush.

Phil Tucker, Chronicles of the Black Gate - in a society that exists in very strict castes, a cataclysm is about to take it all down. I am getting lazy and I have a tag so I am gonna leave it at that, but this is excellent and I love what it has to say about religion and class, also OTPs galore and Asho is possibly my favorite protag ever - think a cross between Spartacus and Jesus only with a big sword.

- Ivan Yefremov, "The Hour of The Bull*

i'm like anyone else struggling under capitalism. I want to be a hole that real human beings use and abuse however they see fit, but tragically the pressures of the marketplace mean that I have to sell my genius writing and art for money instead

Thais of Athens (1972) by Ivan Yefremov

"Red" Dorakeen from Roger Zelazny's _Roadmarks_: Runs guns to the Athenians at Marathon to try and reopen the sheaf of timelines that includes our own.

Me, presumably not from any novel: Shows up shapeshifted to be seven feet tall and outrageously proportioned, with a "muscle" cuirass and armored codpiece to fit, offering my services as a mercenary to the Great King Xerxes, all so I can make Herodotus froth and foam at the mouth when he hears about it.

Andromeda Nebulası

Andromeda Nebulası Ivan Yefremov İthaki Yayınları

“Ivan Yefremov, modern bilimkurgunun nasıl yazılması gerektiğini gösterip Sovyet bilimkurgusunun altın çağını başlattı.” – Boris Strugatski Aynı zamanda bir biliminsanı olan Ivan Yefremov, Sovyet Rusya’da bilimkurgu edebiyatının öncülerinden biri. Başta Strugatski Kardeşler olmak üzere birçok Sovyet yazara ilham veren ve onlara yol gösteren belki de en önemli yazar. Andromeda Nebulası da sosyal içeriği ve Yefremov’un sahip olduğu bilimsel bakış açısıyla ilk modern Sovyet bilimkurgusu olarak kabul ediliyor. Kimsenin aç kalmadığı, fakirliğin yok olduğu, sınıf ayrımının ortadan kalktığı, insanların potansiyellerinin zirvelerine ulaşmak için tüm imkânlara sahip oldukları klasik bir komünist ütopya anlatısı Andromeda Nebulası. Zamanın bilimsel gelişmelerini sonuna kadar kullanmakla kalmayıp geleceğin toplumları hakkında çağdaşı bilimkurguların ötesinde şeyler söylemeyi de beceren, bunu yaparken macera dolu bir hikâye anlatmayı ihmal etmeyen bir kitap.

Summoning

Summoning Ghosts: Mutant Sensibilities and the Politics of Haunting

I am going to devote this writing to claiming the existence of instances and procedures of summoning. People summon certain discourses in order to establish the narrative of everydayness. I offer this term, summoning, as defining the evocation, mobilization, or materialization of the past. Different actors conduct such evocations with a goal, whether conscious or not, of influencing the present and changing the delineation of the future. For instance, the state summons a “glorious past” to create a sense and feel of national unity at the face of some threat, oftentimes fictional. An example of such threat might serve a foreign influence which seeks to corrupt Russia through imposing the politics of acceptance of “homosexual body” (Somerville, 1994). An ethnographic center of this essay will be a case of “mutant sensibilities” in Bratsk, to which we will arrive shortly. This episode will be analyzed in connection to a sci-fi novelette by Ivan Yefremov “Nur-i-Desht Observatory,” first published in 1944 in the Noviy Mir literary journal and then republished several times; it was also translated. In this short story, a group of scientists, including an archeologist, a geologist, and a “professor,” are working on the remnants of an ancient observatory. There, people feel an unusual rise of energy in them; the ruins make them happy. Soon they find an explanation for their joy. Radium used in the details of ornamentations is what impacts the organisms in a positive manner and makes humans feel good. At the time, it was unclear whether the influence of radiation on humans is positive or negative. These “mutant sensibilities” summoned suddenly in 2017, are the examples of the use of a certain narrative that people create and uphold, for them to work around the pollution of the atmosphere. The literary story functions as an example and a counterpoint, providing a historical context to this particular way of summoning.
