I’m probably a bit late (I know I am), but I’ve finally read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was… something. I’m still working on that review, I’ll upload it soon, but I felt like posting something else first. There are so many things JK Rowling said and wrote over the years, but I […]

The Seven Against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας) depicts the siege of Thebes along with the cruel fate of the two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, who were cursed by their father, the late King Oedipus, for not taking care of their blind father and for their selfishness and thirst for power. From my point of view, […]

Though I’ve already written a review in Romanian for Prometheus Bound, it would have been strange if I didn’t write something about the entire volume that includes four of Aeschylus’ tragedies: The Suppliant Maidens, The Persians, The Seven Against Thebes and Prometheus Bound.

I wanted to post something else today, but then we all learnt that Alan Rickman passed away. I can’t believe that happened… when the announcement appeared, I thought (hoped) that it was some sick joke. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. Until I’ll be ready to write reviews for his films, enjoy some of the poems read by […]

I haven’t forgotten about Tom Hiddleston, my lovelies. I’m sure that, like me, you are waiting for films like Crimson Peak or I Saw the Light. I actually put together this article because I was reading some interviews to help me write a different review. I thought… why not? So what if we already have a […]

Some films are just hard to forget and even though some literary masterpieces inspired many film adaptations, book and cinema lovers like me don’t mind exploring new perspectives or innovative ideas that film directors have imagined for their projects. For today’s review I chose to write about the 2012 adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, […]
