«Жизнь замечательных людей»
Posted on 12. Apr, 2009 by josefina in Culture, History, Other Blogs
Ladies and gentlemen, the Russian internet is filled with spectacular things! While browsing through some Russian blogs today – colloquially known in Russian as «жж» which is short for «живой журнал» [live journal] – I came across a link to a wonderful collection of pictures painted by the artist Поваляева [Povakyaeva]. Since these paintings were to good not to share, that’s exactly what I’ll do! And I give you a few of them here, with the ‘explanations’ to them both in Russian and with English translation. Anyone with a soft side for the intellectual will laugh out loud!
«Поэт Владимир Маяковский ищет свой паспорт в широких штанинах» [The poet Vladimir Mayakovsky looks for his passport in huge pants].
«Писатель Марсель Пруст разыскивает утраченное время…» [The writer Marcel Proust searches for lost time...]
«Поэт Александр Блок ночью идёт в дежурную аптеку [The poet Alexander Blok goes to an all-night open pharmacy].
«Писатель Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский работает над ключевой сценой будущего шедевра» [The writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky works on the key scene of his future masterpiece].
P.S. If you can’t see the pictures here you can see them on this link! And there’s a lot more pictures there, I only picked my own favorite ones to show here!�
Just to let you know I really injoy reading your
blogs, as they are very helpfull , since my
wife is russian and I am trying to study
the complex language. Thanks, Louie
Мне понравилось. Но позволь мне сказать, что имя “Марсель” переводит на французский не “Marseilles”, а “Marcel”!
Лав, спасибо за внимательное прочтение поста! Что-то я опять “левой лапой” поблоговала… все, скорретировала!
Thanx for the link; I did enjoy it. Forwarded to few of my friends.
