I followed the river toward the Uffizi Gallery where I stopped, enchanted by the scene below. It’s “a search for the delectable, delicious, almost gustatory delights of the moment,” as they put it. Other times, an object or architectural detail that piques your interest — a gate, a gargoyle — provides a portal to another time. Stories of vanished ages can be triggered by a single stone, then explored back home through books and websites. Being in a big city among so many strangers can be at turns exhilarating and disturbing.

Oppenheimer’s list of books included works by Plato, mathematician Bernhard Riemann and scientist Michael Faraday, and the “Bhagavad-Gita,” with which he has famously long been associated. What happens when the inner workings and potential reach of scientific inventions are unknown, even to the human beings who create them? Still, Pride is also a time to revel in culture’s power to transform, sustain and bring joy to LGBTQ communities. But Medvedev knows that above all else he needs Putin to think of him as unequivocally loyal and useful. What it will do is help 40 million borrowers who, like me, were drowning in debt and need immediate relief.

☆ (foto) Titluri de cărți cu tematică LGBT ale literaturii universale. Cine sunt autorii care au scris despre teme considerate tabu

Iată de ce am selectat o listă de titluri de cărți din diferite perioade literare, în care autorii, voalat sau nu, indică apartenența sexuală a personajelor descrise în romane. Adevăratele sentimente țin de reciprocitate, iar cea mai umană latură a unui om este de a conștientiza acest moment. Oamenii nu sunt ambalaje și nici etichete nu sunt ca să fie judecați pentru că sunt așa și nu altfel. Că aleg în felul lor și nu în felul altora. În subtext, găsim teoretizarea homosexualității și, implicit, o exemplificare a acestei orientări sexuale în triunghiul personajelor-cheie ale cărții, Edouard – Passavant – Olivier”, scrie Eli Bădică.

Franța, ale cărei soluri roditoare și condiții climatice sunt ideale pentru viticultură, a domnit mult timp în lume ca principal furnizor de vin rafinat. Cele două regiuni viticole principale ale sale, Bordeaux și Burgundia, au oferit inspirație mai multor scriitori remarcabili din diferite epoci. Pieter de Vries, creatorul romanelor grafice, s-a autointitulat „băutor de vin” și a fost fascinat în special de vinurile din Burgundia: „Montrachet-ul masculin și Musigny-ul feminin conferă cea mai rafinată unire cu pământul, aerul și cerul la dispoziția omului”. Clima locală nu era potrivită pentru viticultură, vinul era adus în principal din Franța, Spania și Grecia. În eseul său „Despre vin și hașiș” (1851), Baudelaire întreabă: „Cine cunoaște cele mai profunde bucurii ale vinului?

☆ (vox) E dincolo de fizic și se regăsește în trăiri și emoții. Tinerii din Moldova ne spun ce înseamnă pentru ei frumusețea

Frumusețea e în suflet” – Mihaela Milea. „Frumusețea e o abstracție a lumii în care trăim”„Pentru mine, frumusețea este relativă. Și nu pot să nu zic și de frumusețea interioară, fiindcă anume ea va salva lumea: zâmbetele oamenilor, bunătatea, înțelepciunea, dragostea etc. Fiecare om e capabil să găsească frumusețea în aproape orice expresie a artei, a unui obiect sau a unei ființe. Lumea pune standarde în modă, în oameni și, mai nou, pe media de socializare, unde se cuvine să ai o viață frumoasă.

On March 2, 1991, Serge Gainsbourg went to sleep in his bed on the second floor of his house at 5 bis rue de Verneuil in Paris and never woke up. A second heart attack killed him at age 62. For all of France, his death was both shocking and unsurprising. Gainsbourg bestrode the French cultural landscape like a broken-down colossus. “He was our Apollinaire, our Baudelaire,” wrote French president François Mitterand.
