Do you know this author? On January 22, 1981, Marguerite Yourcenar took her place in literary history when she became first female "immortal" admitted to the French Academy since its founding in 1635. She was an ideal choice--and a much more suitable candidate than the more sensual Colette or...

*The book of happiness * by Nina Berberova, you get every type of love there is there, love for parents, friends, husbands and lovers... try it, it's great. And for a non-Hollywood scenario try Marguerite Yourcenar's *Coup de Grace*... it's really interesting.... it is really worth it!

I'll have a look at that one^ ^ Did you ever see a movie called MUSA:THE WARRIOR? it's a Korean movie i liked very much! http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ID=5212

Mr. Darcy Rhett Butler Lestat Alexander the Great( i had a crush on him while reading his biography) Kira from the manga Angel Sanctuary and Lord Byron, even though he is an author and i probably shouldn't mention him in this thread but i've had a crush on him ever since i read the first poem.

Ok, thanks a lot, i'll try those as well.

"The Book of Happiness" by Nina Berberova was pretty romantic for me, you should check it out!

Control Freak The profound stickiness and chewiness of Goldberg’s Peanut Chews (may include the entire toffee family) satisfy the aggressive tendencies of the Control Freak (CF), and indeed may fuel the CF’s propensity to boss others around. Hmmm... Never thought at myself as a control...

He played a wide range of characters from drama "La veuve de Saint-Pierre", adventure "Le Bossu" and comedy "Apres-Vous". And i loved him in "Sade" as well, i think it's one of the parts that fit him the best.

Has anyone seen this movie? I did and liked it very much, so much that it made it to the top of my favourite movies list. The main characters are played by Vanessa Paradis ( she is such a talented actress, such a shame that she gave up on it) and by my favourite french actor, Daniel Auteuil(ok...

Here are some appreciations i found on the book and its author: Drugs and sex and drugs and sex and drugs and sex. Throw in music, booze and puke, a little William S. Burroughs and A Clockwork Orange, set the blender on high, pour into a tall glass and drink in Japanese writer Ryu Murakami's...

A river runs through it La fille sur la pont In the mood for love Gone with the wind Casablanca The usuall suspects LA Confidential Braveheart Jeux d'enfants And sure... well most of these were not life-changing films, but they did leave a strong impression on me, even if it was just...

First of all, so nice to find a fellow japanese literature lover:D I do know some things reguarding Mishima's byography but didn't know there was a book on it, however i've been wanting to buy a collection of articles written on Mishima by french author Marguerite Yourcenar, and seeing that...
