CHARACTER
Fedor Dostoievski - F.M. Dostoievski The Literary Memorial Museum of St. Petesburg

Fedor Dostoievski

The name Dostoevsky has ties to St. Petersburg. It is the city where he lived most of his life and developed as a writer. St. Petersburg became a character in his novels: no other city on the face of the earth has acquired such an appearance as this city, with the Dostoevskian portrayal of “intentional” and “crazy”. Here Dostoevsky’s novels were created: Poor people, Insulted and Injured, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The teenager, scenarios in which the city itself became the true hero of his writings.

MEET THE MUSIC
Five Powerful Russians  - Ricardo Rondón

Five Powerful Russians

The negative reaction to the music of Richard Wagner was reflected in several ways,including the Impressionism of Debussy and the Expresionism of Arnold Schoenberg. It also was welcomed in the National movement that appeared in Russia amongst the group of musicians called The Mighty Handfull. Inspired by the examples of Glinka, and  Dargomizhsky; composers Balakirev,Borodin, Moussorgsky, Cui and Rimsky-Korsakov,  did not accept that their music was a reflexión of other countries,specially Germany. In their misión to communicate individuality they arrived to a style that had deep roots in the Russian language and true folklore. They created  a type of music that cannot be mistaken for any other country. In next generations the influence of the Mighty Five is felt in the superior Works of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, Serge Rachmaninoff and also Dmitri Shostakovich.

Amur Tiger

It was the 15th of December, 1998, and we were walking through the moonlit forest, the snow cracking under our feet, then, a growl was heard, like a faraway thunder. But, the soft ‘pop’ of a tranquilizer dart was heard and hit its target. Ten minutes later, the tigress Amur (which we called Nadia) was sleeping placidly.

Lebanon

The culture in Lebanon, ever since the Phoenicians, has been realist, humane and universal, comparable to a symphony that acquires through conscious its power of expression.  This character made way, through migratory currents, a dialogue with the five continents, leaving the doors open of its millenary tradition to integrate their minds to the ends of the world.
