Sicily…or is it Greece?
I never expected Trapani to be a Baroque Mecca!!! I made that stop in order to visit the Aegade Islands, but Aeole again made it impossible… I posted some photos […]
Cuba…ck in time
I’m writing these lines in beautifully obsolete and decrepit Havana….So glad to leave it although its charm and sadness will be in my heart forever. I’m a born traveler. It’s in my genes, blood, drive, mentality. I remember having to make presentations in my various classes of geography as a […]
Adieu King Father and Welcome to the New Lunar Year
In Asia, the impossible can always happen, you just have to dream it. Such was my visit to Phnom Penh where I intended to take part to the Farewell to King Father Norodom Sihanouk, but no plan or idea of how this would occur. Eventually, the impossible happened and I will never forget this intense moment, in black and white of the farewell to one of the most vibrant figures of our recent history.
Ainsi s’achève “l’histoire terrible” de Norodom Sihanouk, Roi du Cambodge
Ainsi s’achève la Terrible Histoire de Norodom Sihanouk, Roi du Cambodge, Ma paraphrase du titre de la pièce d’Hélène Cixous ne doit rien au hasard, je vous invite à vous remémorer vos propres souvenirs au travers du destin invraisemblable du Roi Père, vrai Tigre mais également Scorpion magnifique. Homme d’Etat, Homme Politique, Homme d’Instinct, Homme Théâtral en tout cas…regard nostalgique sur une période tragique.
A quand un Luther musulman? Kamel DAOUD, Raoudha KAMMOUN et TOUS LES AUTRES!
Cette semaine a été un martyr pour les majorités silencieuses effarées par un débat politico-religio-médiatique indigne et irrespectueux. Voici la preuve que d’autres voix et voies sont possibles.
Kaddish pour Henry
A mon très cher et très regretté Henry Bulawko, né en Lituanie, déporté à Auschwitz et mort à Paris le 28 novembre 2011 au terme d’une vie riche et bien remplie dont la Shoah fut un passage marquant, certes, mais qui ne saurait le résumer malgré sa fidélité et son dévouement inlassables à faire connaître la Honte du XXe siècle.
An interesting visit into European past religious war
Religious intolerance is probably the most documented and ugliest reality of all times….including, alas, the present one!
Ages and freedom, or is it nostalgia?
Progress is great, as long as it doesn’t imply less freedom. Where are gone all these priviledges we grew up into ? Allow me a bit of nostalgia….
New Year count down
Dear Friends, Warm wishes from on this New Year’s Eve! 2008 was one of my most amazing years todate….I hope I won’t turn back to these lovely memories but will build new ones with all of you. Enjoy the moment, carpe diem and Happy New Year from the bottom of […]
Goodbye Toni Negri
This man is old and obviously very ill…perhaps not only mentally actually. I just caught an amazing diatribe he uttered on France Culture’s morning program, Monday May 28th, 2007, in which he actually said “Those who criticize Staline and say he is only a butcher are facists”. The silence (a […]
