![]() ![]() ![]() During Tolstoy’s lifetime, it became a magnet for people who wanted to see the writer, ask for his advice, and sometimes ask for money. About 250,000 people visit the site per year. Today Yasnaya Polyana is a national shrine. ![]() ![]() This is where the Tolstoy family would congregate each evening for discussion. One of the more significant rooms was the zala (dining and living room) which housed a corner for serious talk. Rooms were immaculately furnished and maintained. A long avenue skirted by birch trees leads up to the estate that accommodates several rooms including Tolstoy’s bedroom and study. It is more estate than house a two-storied structure made of stone, conceived by Tolstoy’s grandfather, Count Volkonsky. Yasnaya Polyana (which means Beautiful Meadow in English) was where Tolstoy was born on Auginto the landowning gentry of pre-revolutionary Russia. The writer said, I cannot imagine Russia, or my relationship to her, without Yasnaya Polyana. As the Yorkshire surroundings of Emily Bronte’s birthplace influenced Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte Bronte’s hardships at a stern high school fed her with the image of Lowood in Jane Eyre, so too Tolstoy’s oeuvre fed on the characters and landscape of his estate. ![]() ![]() Now, the writer-director of 2017’s “Get Out” and 2019’s “Us” - two films that, through horror-based storytelling, offer thought-provoking commentary on the black experience - has given us a new “Candyman.” And while Peele only co-wrote this identically named direct sequel to the 1992 movie - the directorial duties are handled by Nia DaCosta (“Little Woods”) - he certainly seems to have his bloody handprint all over it. On the other hand, despite being set largely in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing project, the film is told primarily from the perspective of a white graduate student, Virginia Madsen’s Helen Lyle.Īnd, arguably, it helped to perpetuate certain Black stereotypes. ![]() It was the first American horror film to cast a Black man as its antagonist and namesake character, with actor Tony Todd bringing to life what could be seen as the Black community’s answer to Freddy Krueger, a supernaturally summoned killer with a hook at the end of his right arm. It’s easy to understand why 1992’s “Candyman” long has meant something to filmmaker Jordan Peele. ![]() ![]() 'A warm, generous, blanket of a book, to reach for whenever you need a dose of comfort.' Sophie Dahl Includes illustrations by Rose Electra Harris, as well as cosy contributions from the likes of Dolly Alderton, Alice Temperley and Christoper Kane. In this hug of a book, Laura Weir celebrates the very best of our cool and quirky traditions and habits and rituals with a big dose of comfort - think warm cups of tea, toasty open fires and windswept walks that will blow away the cobwebs.Ĭosy gives readers permission to batten down the hatches and switch off - it is an ode to tucking in, hunkering down and softening life's edges when we need it most. There seems to be a lot to worry about in the world right now, with Brexit looming, social media draining our time and anxiety on the rise, the public are seeking out value in the small things which are close to home that can bring us maximum simple joy in our daily lives.

Focusing on a single “pointy” case from the world of literature-the 1996 novel Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace-I ask whether a set of unique social dynamics attends the process of making a “cultural splash.” In the case of Infinite Jest, success came from occupying an intermediate position in the “space between fields” and eliciting a complex, mutually referential response from cultural intermediaries. This paper builds on two leading models of artistic practice, the “network-building” and “autonomous sphere” approaches, to show how an expressive work can reverse the normal antinomy between artistic recognition and commercial success and become an immediate crossover hit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This feels more like a first draft than an ARC. So who better to save it than three quirky cool girls, am I right.Įxcept that the first two thirds (TWO!!!
