The White Knight We all have our life story. And like (almost) everyone’s story, it has some dark details (in varying degrees of intensity). When we reach some (relatively) adult phase of life, it happens that some (partially or completely) suppressed emotional ideas and understandings (usually from childhood) begin to create psychological conflict within us,…
More than 25 years have passed since legendary Ang Lee honored the world with his mystical dramatic wuxia treat “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The West fell silent before the appearance of this spectacle and saw that Asian cinematography is ready for the 21st century with its films where martial arts can quite successfully be…
I, Tycoon After twenty-eight years of silence, Miroslav Mišković spoke up, Serbia’s biggest businessman from the late 20th and early 21st century. Why was he silent? Why did he speak up now? No, I didn’t write this, it says on the back of the book, “I, Tycoon”… though, now that I’ve said this out…
Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Other Patients On the cover of Rodrigo Muñoz Avia’s novel “Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Other Patients” stands this comment: “This novel will make you both laugh and think.” And that’s definitely true. 😀 “Hello. My name is Rodrigo. Rodrigo Montalvo Letellier. Before going to the psychiatrist I was a happy person. Now I’m…

When you start reading him for the first time, I think page twenty-something is decisive, and then you declare his (any) novel strange and incomprehensible… or it enchants you and draws you into…
Kingsman (The Secret Service & The Golden Circle) “Manners maketh man” – Harry Hart (Kingsman: The Secret Service) There are people with the initials J.B. who will always attract female (passionate) sighs. Imagine a scene. A man and a woman. In her room, sitting on her bed. The man with a gentle hand motion…
Who Was Nikola Tesla When someone says they have great respect for one of the greatest engineers, futurists and innovators (perhaps ever), Nikola Tesla, that among their books they have his, let’s say, “autobiography” (“My Inventions”), a seriously written biography (“Tesla: Inventor of the Modern Age”), and even a book by a domestic author about…
Time to return to one of my favorite topics, which is Japan, and the era of samurai. Can we? IKIMASHO! 😀 “Akō incident” (赤穂事件, Akō jiken) is one of those famous events that remain recorded in (not only Japanese, but world) history. The story of honor and loyalty of the 47 ronin, even at…
