As I was returning “Silence” to the shelf, my gaze accidentally fell upon “BATMAN: Nightwalker” by Marie Lu. Marie Lu… why did she seem familiar to me even before? The answer emerged after a brief rummage through my library. The “Legend” trilogy. Neatly lined up and ready to be read. Hmm… should I write…
By chance, while browsing IMDB, I stumbled upon a review of the film adaptation of Shusaku Endo’s book “Silence,” directed by Martin Scorsese. While some consider this to be Scorsese’s finest cinematic work, others deem it his longest and most tedious (though whether these critics have read the eponymous novel is perhaps another story)….
I am a Bat-fan. Yes, I am. I have loudly declared in English: “I am Batman” (complete with a deep, gravelly voice) in front of other people. Yes, in public. Yes, in front of real people, not imaginary ones. I’ve watched all the movies, both old and new (yes, Nolan’s version with Christian Bale…
Junichiro Tanizaki, one of the most renowned Japanese novelists of the 20th century, is celebrated for igniting a wave of literary works in Japan that delve into the country’s past, particularly the era of the samurai. On behalf of all enthusiasts of Japan and the samurai, we owe him our gratitude. Set in the…
If you spend any time on social media (“And seriously, who doesn’t these days” – note from the subconscious), you’ve undoubtedly noticed one loud, controversial, and somewhat directly (and painfully) bold man, who constantly posts video clips, motivational posters, and whatnot.

Yes, I understand. We are now in the 21st century. Technology and new generations are changing the world. Nowadays, everything is at our fingertips; rarely is anything left a secret. On television and in the media, reckless behavior, promiscuity, and making a fool of oneself are glorified—all in pursuit of instant fame and easy…
Steven Spielberg has undoubtedly left an undeniable mark on the film industry. And how could he not? With masterpieces like “Jaws”, “Empire of the Sun”, “Jurassic Park”, “Schindler’s List”, and the “Indiana Jones” series under his belt… well, it’s enough to say that a man of such caliber doesn’t need to wait for a…
The War of Art – why you can’t start and how to change that As a very young person, I read “Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield and remember enjoying every page of the book (“Maybe you could re-read it since you don’t remember the novel” – note from the subconscious). Since then, many years…
From the moment I picked up this book (“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”), I became cautious. I’m particularly wary of books dealing with motivation, personal change, popular psychology, spiritual transformation… There was something strange about this book. Highly praised, sold in millions of copies, yet criticized by many for the author’s…
Zen… one of those concepts we’ve all heard of, some people have an idea of what it might represent, and no one really knows what it actually is. There are numerous definitions and perceptions of what zen is. The idea of zen and Zen Buddhism attracted my attention because of the samurai, who experienced…
