Easy to say: “Don’t be lazy to read books…”,yes, but in reality, at our computerized age, one prefers to play electronic games in stead of reading, having fun, fun, fun-endless fun. Without much thinking.

But books demand thinking and re-thinking. As in this case. The Encyclopedia consists of 294 short life stories of outstanding people of the world, their different quotations in various subjects: life, freedom, liberty of morals, love, the role of a woman in life, arts, music, philosophy etc.

Nice to have this book in one’s hands, go through 814 pages of it, recollecting the facts you could remember from your all reading life, making yourself again and again figuring out the simple ideas which you could not understand before because of early age or lack of information in old times…

On the waves of my memory I am flying away back to Romain Rolland and Leo Tolstoy, a world class literary scholar and intellectual giant. We know their creative works. What is the link between the two? Spiritual enlightenment-”letters from afar” , after the failure of Franco-Prussian War, France was filled with gloomy atmosphere. July, 1886, Rolland was admitted to the Ecole Normal School, the first exposure to Tolstoy’s writings, especially “war and peace”. In Rolland’s mind, after Shakespeare, Tolstoy is the greatest writer in the world, “War and Peace” is a supreme classic through the ages. When recalling his spiritual path, Rolland is full of deep feeling: “I deeply loved, I never stop to love Tolstoy. I have lived in an atmosphere of his thought, I work with him, with “War and Peace’ and “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”, intimacy, than with any one of the important works of French writer relationship. The great kindness, wisdom, absolutely true, for me, he is the spirit of our times, the most reliable to anarchy”.

Later Rolland was shocked by Tolstoy’s booklet “The how we are to do” where he  believes the role of art is the corrosion of the human mind, it will corrupt the people…”

He wrote a letter to Tolstoy and got an answer from him. “Letters from afar” of Rolland are the following points: first. Equality. As a noble writer Tolstoy criticized in the letter that gentleman for doing nothing.: “One does not fulfill everyone’s moral obligation to follow the people, an excuse to love science, love art, and live a parasitic life.

Secondly,Love and happiness. Love is better than love yourself.

Third, the concept of art against violence. On the role of art, Tolstoy made a well-known thesis: “Art should be the elimination of violence, and only artistic talent to do so. Art’s mission to rule the kingdom of love”.

Rolland accepted doctrine of Tolstoy, then, when Tolstoy died, full of respect for Rolland he wrote “Tolstoy Biography” (1911).  By writing biography, Rolland bathed in Tolstoy the ocean of the mind to experience the power of Tolstoy and the meaning of life and thought and emotional experience in the mentality of Tolstoy.

Rolland created “John Christopher”. At my student years I remember I read this book through the night, could not get enough of it, and tomorrow arrived: we need to attend classes after sleepless night. And we did. Everything was all right.

Today, with globalization, the dream of 21st century came to us, but the world is not tranquil: personal desires expansion, expansion of national strife, rampant terrorism. Tolstoy and Rolland humanitarian ideas remain up to date.

Listen to:Edith Piaf – La Vie En Rose (live)

On December 6, 1895, the great writer Anton Chekhov, whose stories have gained him a reputation the world over for humane attitudes, wrote to his friend, the publisher Suvorin: “The weather in Moscow is good, there’s no cholera, there’s also no lesbian love…Brrr! remembering those persons of whom you write me makes me nauseous as if I’d eaten a rotten sardine. Moscow doesn’t have them-and that’s marvelous.”

It is therefore not surprising, that the best-known period of Parnok’s life is the eighteen months of her love affair with Marina Tsvetaeva, who is justifiably considered one of the four greatest twentieth-century Russian poets. But Sophia Parnok was also a poet. This is the book about her( photo to the left – front cover, to the right a photo from the book-Marina Tsvetaeva with her daughter at the period of time).

From the book; “Tsvetaeva remembered Parnok from the moment she entered the drawing room, wearing a simple, black-knit jacket with a wing collar. A fire was crackling in the grate, the air smelled of tea and White Rose perfume. A lmost immediately, someone came over to Parnok and said there was a young poetwhom she had to meet.. As she rose, she noticed, perhaps for the first time, a young woman with short, curlyblonde hair, dressed in an almost gold-colored faille dress, who was getting up to meet her with an unforcedmovement.

Later in the evening, Tsvetaeva remembered clinking glasses with parnok above the blue vase. As they toasted and locked glasses for a moment, she thought to herself,”Oh, be my Orestes!” Spontaneously, she took one of the flowerrs from the vase and offered it to Parnok.

From Tsvetaeva’s “Girlfriend’ dedicated to Parnok:

“and still-

what happened, really?

What do I so regret and want?

And I don’t know: did I conquer?

Was I overcome?”

Sophia Parnok was born in1885 in Taganrog in Russia to Alexandra and Yakov Parnokh, middle class Jewish family, who was considered  part of Taganrog intellectual elite. Her mother Alexandra Abramovna was an exceptionally well-educated woman for her time, one of the first generation of women doctors in Russia. Her father Yakov Solomonovich, a pharmacist and the owner of an apothecary,  was one of Taganrog’s five hundred  ”hereditary  honorary citizens”, a title conferred  on persons not of gentle birth for good citizenship and services rendered to the state. Though sensitive to anti-Semitism, he was indifferent to religion, never attended synagoue, provided no religious instruction for his children, and gave frequent voice to his dream of leaving Russia and living in Werstern Europe. The children got an excellent education at home and in gymnasiums.

The very book we are looking through, provides us with the detailed analysis of the poems Sophia wrote at different times and as Pasternak put it in words: “The biography of a poet is found in what happens to those who read her”.

Her verses. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to read them in her native language, Russian. Here they are presented in translation to English. Translated beautifully. But where are the originals? Alas, I don’t see them. So, I could not formulate my opinion about them. And appeal again to Tsvetaeva’s “Girlfriend”:

“Parrying all smiles with my poems!

I reveal to you and the world-at-large

Everything in you and that lies in store for us,

Fair stranger with the brow of Beethoven!”

Parnok’s feeling for Tsvetaeva were slower to crystallize and express themselves and are much harder to guess at. She immediately recognized Tsvetaeva’s giftedness, fell in love with it, nurtured and cherished it, and never ceased to love it. The less generous side of her must have envied her young lover’s poetic gift, but she managed somehow to conquer her envy and wisely refrained from vying directly with Tsvetaeva in the poetic arena. She rejected the loathsome role of Salieri and endeavored to be a “Salieri who loved his Mozart” deferring to Tsvetaeva’s desire to write their love into Russian poetry in the “Girlfriend” poems.

“Right away my heart said:”She’s the one!”

At random, I forgave you everything,

Knowing nothing-not even your name!

My only thought was,”love me, love me!”

Sophia Parnok died in 1933 in Karinskoye, village of about forty houses, in the cottage, Parnok and Tsuberbiller rented not far from the Moscow River.

All who knew her remember Sophia Parnok with love and tenderness in their hearts. Bless her!

The front cover of the book is to the left and to the right is the back cover of the diaries of a remarkable woman Sofia Tolstoy that reveal a woman of tremendous vital energy and poetic sensibility who, in the face of provocations and suffering, continued to strive for the higher things in life and to remain indomitable.

But let us return to the excerpt from the book:

“Do forgive me, Countess,  for keeping you waiting for so long,he said. “It was impossible for me to receive you earlier.’

I replied:”I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for doing me the honour of receiving me.”

Then the Tsar began to talk about my husband. I don’t remember his exact words, and asked me the nature of my request. I spoke in a quiet, but firm voice.

“Your Majesty, I have recently observed that my husband seems disposed to resume his literary endeavors. Only the other day he was saying to me: “I have moved so far beyond these philosophical and religious works now that I think I might start on some literary work-I have in mind something similar to War and Peace, in form and content.” Yet with every day that passes the prejudice against him grows stronger. Volume 13 was banned, for instance,  although it has now been decided to pass it. His play THe Fruits of Enlightenment was banned, then the order was given for it to be performed on the Imperial stage. The Kreutzer Sonata was banned…”

“Surely though you wouldn’t give a book like that to your children to read?” the Tsar said.

I said: “The story has unfortunately taken a rather extreme form, but the fundamental idea is that the ideal is always unattainable if the ideal is total chastity.” Listen to:David Oistrakh, Beethoven, Sonata #9 “Kreutzer”

I also recall that when I told the Tsar  that Lev Nikolaevich seemed disposed  to write literary work again, he said:”Ah, how good that would be! What a great writer he is!”

The ban was lifted up. Lyovochka was displeased about my adventure and my meeting with the Tsar. He said we had now taken on all sorts of responsibilities we could not possibly fulfill. He and the Tsar had managed to ignore each other up to now, he said; all this could do us a lot of damage, and might well have disagreeable consequences.”

Yet nobody knows my real motive for visiting St. Petersburg. It was all because of the Kreutzer Sonata. The story cast a shadow over my life. Some people suspected it was based on me, others felt sorry for me. Even the Tsar said: “I feel sorry for his poor wife”. So I wanted to show that I wasn’t a victim at all; I wanted to say my visit to St. Petersburg was something I had done instinctively. I knew in advance that I would be successful and prevail upon the Emperor, for I haven’t lost my powers of winning people’s sympathy; and I certainly made impression on him, with my words and my demeanor. The Tsar told to Countess Sheremeteva that he found our discussion was so interesting and enjoyable, and he didn’t realized I was still so young and pretty. All this flatters my female vanity, and avenges me for all the years in which my husband not only failed to promote me in society, but actually did his utmost to drag me down. I can never understand why.”

Mother of 9 children she educated them at home giving them lessons in French, German, Russian, literature, religion, had sewn clothes for them, darned socks, looked after them and her husband, being a hostess of the house and a financial trustee.

Two. Ovechkin leads Capitals past Flames. The Washington Capitals won straight fourth time and the Flames – fourth straight lost. Ovechkin and Troy Brouwer scored power-play goals. Dennis Wideman added a goal, and Thomas Vokoun made 18 saves for the capitals, who improved to 9-6-1 under coach Dale Hunter.

Three. Freeks and movie geeks. With 12 films and on DVD between them in 2011, the original Freeks (of Judd Apatow’s Freeks and Geeks fame)- James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel- ruled the screen big and small last year.

Four. In December 2011 there was released a new movie in Russia :” Vysotsky. Thank God I’m Alive”, produced by his son Nikita Vysotsky and directors: Konstantin Ernst and Pyotr Buslov, writers: Nikolai Popov and Konstantin Ernst, the main role is played by Sergey Bezrukov, the other actors: Sergei Shakurov, Ivan Urgant, Maxim Leonidov, Oksana Akinshina, Andrei Panin.

Watch:“Vysotsky. Thank God I’m Alive.”

Five. Self-cleaning clothes. That’s right. The Jetson age is truly upon us.

In China, using a chemical called titanium dioxide, a coating can be applied to the outside of cotton materials causing them to self-clean, while removing stains and odours. The reaction takes place when the coating is exposed to sunlight and proved very successful in testing.

All this talk of chemicals is scary, right? Think again. According to reports, the nano-particle coating is eco-friendly. When washed traditionally, it doesn’t lose its future self-cleaning effectiveness either, so it could be a great solution for hot and humid climates to simplify control odours.

“F. Murnau’s 1926 film classic FAUST -with live piano score by Robert Bruce.

Cultural classic aficionados will be thrilled with F. Murnau’s silent film masterpiece FAUST , with live piano score by renowned composer Robert Bruce on Sunday, October 23, 2011 at the Edgewater Community Hall.

The Edgewater performance is part of a 14-date tour of Western Canada. Robert Bruce is a celebrated, self-taught composer/pianist from Hamilton, Ontario. He has had a long career writing music for young children, piano repertoire for students, music for film, television and animation, music for meditation, piano works and music for his performing ensemble, Classical Nouveau, His travels around the world have allowed him to perform with some of the finest musicians, singers and dancers in the world.”

See the poster and the image of Faust of 1926 here.                                                

By the way, what is this all about Faust? What kind of legend?

The story itself tells:

“The demon Mephistopheles has a bet with an Archangel that he can corrupt a righteous man’s soul and destroy in him what is divine. If he succeeds, the Devil will win dominion over the earth.

The Devil delivers a plague to the village where FAUST, an elderly alchemist, lives. Though he prays to stop the death and starvation, nothing happens. FAUST then makes a trial, 24-hour bargain with the Devil. Faust will have Mephistopheles’ service till the sand runs out in an hourglass, at which time the Devil will rescind the pact. At first, FAUST uses his new power to help the people of the village, but they shun him when they find out that he cannot face a cross.

Later, FAUST makes a further deal with Satan, who gives FAUST back his youth and offers him earthly pleasures and a kingdom, in return for his immortal soul. Mephistopheles then takes to the Walpurgisnacht celebration on “Bald Mountains”, to finish his tryst with an Italian Duchess. FAUST seals the deal permanently; he is Mephistopheles’ forever.

FAUST soon grows weary of debauchery and yearns “Home”. Here FAUST falls in love with an innocent girl, Gretchen, but he is later framed for the murder of her brother by Satan and must flee with Satan’s encouragement). The girl has a child (by FAUST) but is cast out into a blizzard where the child dies, and she is sent to the stake as a murderess. FAUST sees what is happening and demands Satan take him there. FAUST arrives just as the fire has been started to burn his lover. FAUST wishes he had never asked his youth back and runs through the assembled mob towards Gretchen; Mephistopheles gleefully grants FAUST his wish and it is as an old man that FAUST throws himself onto the fire to be with his beloved.

Gretchen recognizes FAUST and sees him in her heart as a young man again as the fire consumes them together. The angel reveals to Mephistopheles that he has lost the bet because love has triumphed over all.”

Now we know what Gothe wrote about FAUST.

Really, to deceive Satan is not a sin.

An interesting theme, isn’t it?

Kalderone de La Barka, Pedro (1600-1681), a Spanish playwright, wrote a play “Fairy Magician” which reminds us a lot about the legend of FAUST.

In 2004 British musician and composer, Geoff Smith, composed a new soundtrack to the film for the hammered dulcimer, which he performed live as an accompaniment to the film.

In 2006, a DVD version of the film was released with a new soundtrack performed on the harp by Stan Androse.

Nowadays Alexander Sokurov, a Russian film producer, made a new film “FAUST” and won the highest prize “GOLDEN LION” at the International Film Festival in Venice this year.

This is a presentation of the movie.

Movie “Faust” by A. Sokurov (2011)

Who said that his “FAUST” does not have the positive emotions? Sure, it does.

The main feeling is that the artist SOKUROV is free of self-expression, free of choice of artistic tools, the staff even if this movie is in German. So what?

The sujet is well-known and if you like beauty, watch it, please.

The cover of the book “The State Tretyakov Gallery Moscow”, Aurora Art Publishers, Leningrad, 1975 is shown here alongside with his portrait done by I. Repin.

When he first began to collect, his main interest was in engravings by foreign artists  and paintings by old Dutch masters, but before long, he took a serious interest in Russian art. He bought his first painting, The Temptation, by the Russian artist, N. Schilder, on May 12th, 1856. This date is regarded as the birthday of the Gallery.

Tretyakov’s method of collecting was quite simple. He went to the exhibitions and bought up outstanding works by any democratic Russian artist. Tretyakov saw in the creation of a gallery of portraits of contemporary Russian artists and scientists his civic duty, and from 1860 on, he arranged for leading Russian writers, scientists and musicians to sit for the best painters, like Ivan Kramskoy, Ilya  Repin, Vasiliy Perov and Nikolay Ge.                                                                  

By 1872, Tretyakov had amassed more than 500 paintings. Now he began to build special halls to house the collection. The gallery was built as an annexe to his house in Lavrushinsky Lane, in 1881 he made admission free. 8,000 people visited his museum that year and 100,000 people had seen it by 1898. In 1892, soon after his brother’s death, Pavel Tretyakov did what he had always intended to do, he presented his and his brother’s collections to the city of Moscow. The Tretyakov Gallery collection has now more than 45 thousand works, of which more than 11 thousand icons and paintings which shows the development of Russian art from the eleventh century to the present day. Every year over a million and a half Russian and foreign visitors come to see exhibitions at the Gallery.

Where are you, modern Tretyakovs, the Generous Russian Souls, where are you now? Respond. Take care of Russia, pklease!

Second. Alberta consistently ranks first among provinces in total charitable donations, yet much of it comes from a few. While 85 per cent of Albertans are givers, on par with most provinces, a small minority contributes most of the dollars.. Ten per cent of all contributions to charity, and the top quarter of Alberta donors account for 82 per cent of the dollar value of all donations, according to Statistics Canada.

There are numerous examples worldwide of wealthy people literally giving away their fortunes – the most notable being Warren Buffet, the world’s third – richest man, who has pledged to give 85 per cent of his wealth to charity.

We met the honorable name of Conrad Kain in Wilmer, Invermere, Windermere and got interested in him.

Conrad Kain was born in Nasswald, Austria.

Of all mountain guides who came to Canada in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Conrad Kain was probably the one who was most respected. His autobiography entitled, “Where the Clouds can Go” is a classic of Canadian mountain literature and tells the story of his early difficult life in Austria which was transformed when he came to Canada in 1909 to lead climbs at the Alpine Club of canada’s Lake O’hara camp. Although credited with fifty first ascents, including Mount Louis, his most significant was Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Mount Kain (2880 m (9450 ft.) was named after him.

As a professional mountain guide Conrad Kain laid out the methods by which a guide should gain and maintain thr confidence of his party. “First, he should never show fear. Second, he should be courteous to all, and always give special attention to the weakest member of the party. Third, he should be witty, and able to make up a white lie on short notice, and tell it in the convincing manner. Fourth, he should know when and how to show authority; and when the situation demands it, should be able to give a good scolding to whomsoever deserves it.”

Sadly, Conrad Kain died at a young age, just six months after his fiftieth birthday. On that day he had completed his last difficult ascent of Mount Louis. Jimmy Simpson wrote then:”Conrad gave every ounce of his best at all times. He would die for you, if need be, quicker than most men think of living. No matter what his creed, his colour, or his nationality, he was measured by a man’s yardstick, no other. We shall all miss him.”

For Conrad Kain

“You are one of the ghosts

I see

in the mountains.

the ultimate craftsman,

working your way

gleaming blade

where the sun

makes of

snow and ice,

a bright essence.

You gloried

in the mountains’ barrenness

yet you wintered happily

in towering woods.

The joy of life

in a Strauss waltz

was your joy

and as I

put away your story                                                                                                                                                                                                

I see you

standing forever

on the fluted snow

of the ethereal summit

of ripeness and fulfillment,

Which only those

kind and wise as you

can be said to have ascended.”

Your spirit is alive, Conrad Kain, and coming back to the book “Where the Clouds Can Go” by Conrad Kain, it is worthwhile to cite: “That his life story should have been preserved is merest chance: some of it in German, some in English, written in broken diaries and on scraps of paper in a dozen countries of the world; part of it kept by Amelia Malek, of Reichenau, Austria, a friend of Conrad’s youthful days in the Alps; other parts written for me. Some of it I wrote down myself, during days with pack-train in the Canadian Northwest where we were together for six seasons; some of the story was found among his papers after death… In putting the fragments of his book together I have thought that “They who one another keep alive ne’er parted be,” and have done my best to hold in memory one who was indeed “der besten Fuhrer einer” with whom I spent some of life’s happeiest hours.”

On p.p. 154-64 is published the interview of Fernando Botero by Peter Stepan in Munich on may 8, 1986.

Botero: I want to paint people as still lifes.

Stepan: To me, the people in your pictures look rather foolish. They gawk…

Botero: That’s right.

Stepan: Does the fulness of body correspond for you, to richness of mind, and spirit?

Botero: I can only explain why I think this kind of art is effective, but not what it was that attracted me to it in the first place. That’s intuition. I can’t say why I chose this particular art, why I work different from Giacometti. “Fat” art has always been the most important art. Look at Greek art-it’s at its greatest in the 5th century, when its figures are most volumnious!

Botero is an abstract artist in the most fundamental sense, chosing colors, shapes, and proportions based on intuitive aesthetic thinking. While his work includes still lifes and landscapes, Botero has concentrated on situational portraiture. His paintings and sculptors are united by their proportionally exaggerated, or “fat” figures, as he once referred to them.

“The artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later you do attempt to rationalize or even justify it”.

Botero painted the abuses of Abu Ghrab prison during the Iraq War between 2004-2005 as a permanent accusation: 85 paintings and 100 drawings in exploring this concept and “painting out the poison”.

Last year in Calgary there was an exhibition “The Baroque World of Fernando Botero” (August 21-November 14, 2010), Glenbow Museum, this year the presentation had been done in Winnipeg.

So, Botero’s art is traveling around the world. At the moment the famous artist lives and works with his wife Sophia in Italy. We wish them good health and more artistic innovations in years to come because they both are artists.
