The past couple days I've been slowly picking at drawing the full (currently designed) 'In the Cracks' cast! The black boxes are spoilers, but in total it's about 41 guys/gals!!!! It's also still growing, so this'll be a constant project for me.

A few of these characters belong to @knoggart!!! :] Namely Eda and the rest of the monkey family (plus Nebby), but she's got more behind the scenes >:]c

I'm excited!!!! to eventually share this story with you guys!!! Whenever that can happen!

Wonderful Summer days in "Les Coupeaux" (Suresnes) home Maria Montez and Jean-Pierre Aumont shared with Lucita and Jean Roy and their kids.

In these beautiful photos taken on Summer 1951 we can see little Tina with her parents and her cousin Yves Leleu Gracia.

Books about Napoleonic era (and Polish history) - 3

Good day, dear all, and let me share with you some books I've read recently.

And because today is the birthday of Tadeusz Kościuszko I'll start with a biography of him The Peasant Prince, by the American historian Alex Storozynski:

2. One more position about the Polish history, in English, I'd like to recommend you is Richard Butterwick's The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1733–1795: Light and Flame, dedicated to the reigns of Polish-Lithuanian two last kings, Augustus III Wettin and Stanisław August Poniatowski:

From the topic of Polish history let's switch to the French one.

3. One more addition to my collection of Talleyrand's biographies was this one, written by Robin Harris:

4-5. Then, there were two books about Napoleon's private life, by Octave Aubry and Sigrid-Maria Größing:

6-7. A study on the topic of French revolutionary and imperial generals, by Georges Six, and George Nafziger's Imperial Bayonets. (These were books with lots of military details, so I can't say I've enjoyed them thoroughly, rather not belonging to their target audience))

8. And this is a book I really liked, The anatomy of Glory by Henry Lachouque! And though its subtitle (Napoleon and his Guards) kinda states the book will be focused on the Imperial Guards, in fact its topics turned out much more wider, including information on Napoleon himself, France and even some details of the usual life of that times:

9. The book majority of you have already read, The Iron Marshal, a biography of Louis Nicolas Davout by John Gallaher:

10-11. And the last but not the least - two books on Murat. The first is a book by the French historian Jean Tulard and the second is an impressive work of Sarah Hammel @joachimnapoleon.

Thanks a lot, Sarah, for letting as see Joachim Murat through his letters, from his own point of view!

@Maurice Fandom: While we’re at Wilbury and Crichel, you need to know that Kit Hesketh Harvey (1957–2023) actually wrote an obituary for Maria Britneva/Maria St Just (1921–1994) – the owner of Wilbury Park / Maurice’s Pendersleigh and Mrs Sheepshanks/‘Woolly’ in the film, which also features her two labradors.

‘Obituary: Maria St Just’, by Kit Hesketh Harvey, Independent, 25 Feb 1994.

It’s quite a read. (‘on seeing that I was badly hurt, Maria howled with laughter ... Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, hearing the story, murmured that she liked the sound of Maria.’) But KHH, curiously, never mentions Maurice. Here he is on set at Wilbury in 1986 helping Ismail and the crew to pull Clive and Anne’s carriage. (Set photography by Jon Gardey, from Robert Emmet Long, The Films of Merchant Ivory, 1991/1992.)

[schizografia]

Crede di vedere dei fantasmi chi non vuole vedere la notte, chi la riempie dello spavento di piccole immagini, l’occupa e la distrae fissandola, arrestando l’oscillazione dell’eterno ricominciare. Tutto ciò è vuoto e non esiste, ma viene rivestito di una sorte di essere, rinchiuso, se possibile, in un nome, una storia, una similitudine; si dice, come Rilke a Duino: “ Sono Raymondine e Polissena”.

Maurice Blanchot

[abridurif]

Chaque homme est appelé à recommencer la mission de Noé. Il doit devenir l’arche intime et pure de toutes choses, le refuge où elles s’abritent, où toutefois elles ne se contentent pas de se garder telles qu’elles sont, telles qu’elles s’imaginent être, étroites et caduques, des attrape-vie, mais où elles se transforment, perdent leur forme, se perdent pour entrer dans l’intimité de leur réserve, là où elles sont comme préservées d’elles-mêmes, non touchées, intactes, dans le point pur de l’indéterminé. Oui, chaque homme est Noé, mais si on y prend garde, il l’est d’une étrange manière, et sa mission consiste moins à sauver toutes choses du déluge qu’à les plonger, au contraire, dans un déluge plus profond où elles disparaissent prématurément et radicalement. C’est en cela, en effet, que revient la vocation humaine. S’il faut que tout visible devienne invisible, si cette métamorphose est le but, apparemment bien superflue est notre intervention : la métamorphose s’accomplit parfaitement d’elle-même, car tout est périssable, car, dit Rilke dans la même lettre, « le périssable s’abîme partout dans un être profond ». Qu’avons-nous donc à faire, nous qui sommes les moins durables, les plus prompts à disparaître ? Qu’avons-nous à offrir dans cette tâche de salut ? Cela précisément : notre promptitude à disparaître, notre aptitude à périr, notre fragilité, notre caducité, notre don de mort. Maurice Blanchot, L’Espace littéraire, Éditions Gallimard, 1955, p.180

1951 - Little Tina pictured with her dad, mum and Jean-Pierre Leleu, Tina's cousin and son of Lucita and Jean Roy. This photo (and the similar ones that you can find here) are taken by Maurice Zalewski.

Jean-Pierre Aumont is driving an Italian Alfa Romeo that was a gift from María to Jean-Pierre and he used it in his Italian films.

Here they are pictured in Émile Roux street, at the entrance of their home in Suresnes.

Very special thanks to @74paris for the photos and information.
