THE BACK OF A WHALE TO TRAVEL ON
|
Endless silent space of white where colours, shades, and smells exist just in summer. If they do at all. No restaurants, of course. And no hotels. And no system of entertainment other than the games of seals that you can watch for hours on end.
A vast desert almost entirely covered with a thick layer of ice. The Earth’s fifth largest — and the coldest — continent. The mountains and rocks look like the ones you can see in the Crimea. But what is different from the Crimea is record low temperature (- 82.2 degree Celsius was measured at the Russian research station Vostok in 1983).

GORGEOUS GORGONZOLA FROM MILAN CAVES
| Unlike people, food products rarely have birth certificates, instead, during centuries upon centuries, they often go together with exciting legends and thrilling stories. A tangy flavoured piece of blue cheese can tell a lot about its adventures, as well as boast of the genuine value it represents which in Italy is defended by big serious ministries and consortiums. Initially, Gorgonzola, an Italian cheese with the veins of a blue-green mould, was called stracchino di Gorgonzola…

LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON RE-DISCOVERED
| You think you have tried all the fruitiest wines of France, any reference to Burgundy or Bordeaux brings out a multitude of comments based on your personal experience, Alsace is too sweet for you, and Loire Valley is by now tiring you with its delicacy? Excellent. It is the right time you opened your eyes to find out something new about good old France. It still has a hardly known wine region in stock — Languedoc-Roussillon — to surprise you with, the one which is gradually being discovered by and becomes accessible to wine lovers.

CANNOLI, SMALL PLEASURES OF CARNIVAL
| Tender ricotta cheese in a delicate wafer or flaky captivity… Sicilians were the first to cook cannoli, crusty tubes stuffed with sweet filling, that are now popular not only throughout Italy but also far beyond its borders. Tourists spread the news of remarkable cannoli around the world, while Italian chefs just shrugged their shoulders in response: we like good food and know how to cook it, nothing to be done about it…Cannoli always appear on the carnival menu.

MR BRODSKY: PROPHET NOT IN HIS OWN LAND
| One of the strongest interviewers of Brodsky, Solomon Volkov, whose talks with the poet were published in the bestselling book Conversations with Joseph Brodsky, a person who spoke to Brodsky as an equal interlocutor, produced a remarkably precise definition of the poet’s success in one of his own interviews: «Brodsky is a rare example of intellectual might combined with enormous intuition. Throughout his life, only very rarely did he fail to make the right choice. In the harsh times… that the new generation has not much idea of, he did with least possible compromises… His contemporaries stumbled in the situations where he retained his dignity». However, it would be wrong to believe it is enough to «turn non-conformist», and — provided you have a mighty intellect — «you’ll be like Brodsky». It is not as simple as that. Mr Brodsky cannot be fully captured by any formula, and this is his brightest mystery which is, apparently, never to be solved, like that of Pushkin or Mozart…

JAN GARBAREK: ALL THOSE BORN WITH WINGS
| The name of the Norwegian saxophone player Jan Garbarek is associated above all with the birth of an original European jazz. The sound of his saxophone is highly distinctive: pure, independent, ascetic. He may be playing just one note, and still it will astound you with the richness of sound, angelic modulations, and a spectrum of overtones. The origins of his music are north and nature, song and mystery. In fact, the whole of his playing is mystery. Not deprived of certain rationality though. «In my best moments I hope to give meaning to every note, whether improvised or well thought over», says the saxophonist.
