War and Peace
I first fell in love with Tolstoy's War and Peace when I was sixteen. I actually won a copy as a prize for being top student at school for English. I proudly took my new prize on a family holiday to Wales and so A 3. it was on a remote and rugged costal path, I made my first acquaintance with Lev Tolstoy.
It wasn't love at first sight. The character names and families are challenging to
an English reader; but before long I was captivated. I still remember B 5. that first time reading the novel and the sense of loss when the story was over. However, some years were to pass before I revisited that vast literary landscape although it remained fixed in my memory; like a vivid dream. I was then in my thirties. By that time I'd read all Tolstoy's works and had C 7. no particular interest in re-reading any. But at that time I happened to see the old 1956 movie of War and Peace starring Audrey Hepburn. I had mixed feelings about the film and the result was that D 1. I ended up reading the novel a second time. What a glorious experience that was, as nineteenth-century Russia once more became real in my imagination.
Another twenty years were to pass E 6. until this year when I heard the BBC were making a new TV adaptation with Lily James as Natasha Rostova and Paul Dano as Pierre Bezukhof. This prompted me to read the great novel for the third time in my life. I expected watching the new BBC series to be a disappointment after the
novel - but F 4. it turned out I was completely wrong. It was absolutely wonderful.
Having been so much exposed to War and Peace over the years I have
wondered if I have regardless missed out its true greatness -- because I don't
read in Russian. It is probably too late for me to learn and find out but perhaps
one day I'll learn.

"Оскар Нимейер, Бразильский архитектор мастер, ненавидит самолеты. "Полет-это дерьмо, - говорит он, кратко и емко. Он ненавидит летать так сильно, что он встал президенты, СМИ вельмож и магнатов. Фидель Кастро как-то пошутил об отправке корабля за ним. Удивительно, Бразилиа, город, который он наколдовал из красной глины в середине Бразильский некуда, когда-нибудь построили. Но если его страх перед полетом-одна из Бразилии старейших шутки, Нимейер всегда был последний смех: ведь он построил карьеру насмешливый тяжести с бетона, камня и стекла. В своих лучших проявлениях, он добился зданий парить, ваяя головокружительной завитки, волны, стручки и чаш. Сегодня, в 94, Нимейер не изменилось. Когда грандиозная ретроспектива его работ открылась в месяце в галерее же де пом в Париже, Нимейер оставался там, где он всегда это делает: дома в Рио. Вот только где Бразилия любит его. Полвека после открытия его смелые работы-городе Бразилиа-он по-прежнему обязательной ссылкой для проектирования зданий в Бразилии. Архитектура издавна, как всем известно, седоватая призвание--Филипп Джонсон по-прежнему здания и Фрэнк Ллойд Райт был в его чертежным столом, пока он почти упал, на 96--и Нимейер будет сильнее, чем когда-либо. Эскизы и масштабные модели для полдюжины проектов, от Рио до Равелло, Италия, беспорядок на столах и стенах в его мастерской, запасной пентхаус с видом пляжа Копакабана. Давно известный как бразильский "официальным архитектором" ,он очаровывает студентов и уже состоявшихся модельеров, так, бросая длинную тень на страны раскинувшегося ландшафта. По сути, Институт архитекторов Бразилии недавно спросил ее 100,000 членов, чтобы выбрать архитектора века. Угадайте, кто выиграл?"
