She lives in Saint Petersburg. Biography Marusya Klimova is one of the most prominent representatives of counter−culture in modern Russian literature. In Marusya Klimova's oeuvre there's a surprising combination of postmodernist irony, immoralism, misanthropy and adherence to a cult of pure beauty and genius in the spirit of decadence of the Age of Art Nouveau. Early in life she was connected to the underground culture of Leningrad. In early 90s she lived in Paris. In her autobiographical novels («Blue Blood» (1991), «The Little House at Bois-Colombes» (1998), «The Blonde Beasts» (2001)) there's a wide panorama of European life around 80s-90s described. The author creates the images of newly appeared Russian dandies and transvestites, who easily change their mask ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dancers From Paris
Dance is an art form, consisting of sequences of body movements with aesthetic and often symbolic value, either improvised or purposefully selected. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements or by its historical period or place of origin. Dance is typically performed with musical accompaniment, and sometimes with the dancer simultaneously using a musical instrument themselves. Two common types of group dance are theatrical and participatory dance. Both types of dance may have special functions, whether social, ceremonial, competitive, erotic, martial, sacred or liturgical. Dance is not solely restricted to performance, as dance is used as a form of exercise and occasionally training for other sports and activities. Dance performances and dancing competitions are found across the world exhibiting various different styles and standards. Dance may also be participated in alone as a form of exercise or self expression. Dancing is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

David Alliot
David (; , "beloved one") was a king of ancient Israel and Judah and the third king of the United Monarchy, according to the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament. The Tel Dan stele, an Aramaic-inscribed stone erected by a king of Aram-Damascus in the late 9th/early 8th centuries BCE to commemorate a victory over two enemy kings, contains the phrase (), which is translated as "House of David" by most scholars. The Mesha Stele, erected by King Mesha of Moab in the 9th century BCE, may also refer to the "House of David", although this is disputed. According to Jewish works such as the ''Seder Olam Rabbah'', ''Seder Olam Zutta'', and ''Sefer ha-Qabbalah'' (all written over a thousand years later), David ascended the throne as the king of Judah in 885 BCE. Apart from this, all that is known of David comes from biblical literature, the historicity of which has been extensively challenged,Writing and Rewriting the Story of Solomon in Ancient Israel; by Isaac Kalimi; page 32; Cambr ...

Marie Canavaggia
Marie Canavaggia, (March 1896 – September 30, 1976) was a professional French translator and, for 25 years, the literary secretary of the writer and pamphleteer Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Early life and family Canavaggia was born in Limoges, France, to Louise Patry of Limoges and Jerome Canavaggia, a Corsican magistrate. She was the oldest of three daughters; her younger sisters were Jeanne (who became noted abstract painter) and Renée (who worked as a translator – sometimes with Marie – and became an astrophysicist). Her childhood was spent between Limoges and Castelsarrasin, depending on where her father was working, so she attended school intermittently. In 1911 or 1912, the family settled permanently in Nîmes, where Canavaggia finished her studies at the local girls' high school. Her classmate there, Jeanne Carayon, became Celine's first literary secretary. Inspired to read her favorite authors in their native language, Marie chose to study English and Italian and fou ...

2Be3
2Be3 was a French boy band that was active from 1996 to 2001. History 2Be3 was formed in 1996 and comprised three childhood friends from Longjumeau (a suburb of Paris): Filip Nikolic, Adel Kachermi and Frank Delay. Inspired by English bands like Take That and Worlds Apart, the group produced 3 studio albums and various compilations before disbanding in 2001. The name 2Be3 was a pun on the English language phrases ''to be free'' (in French, "être libre") and ''to be three'' ("être trois"). Hence the band's name was pronounced in English ("Two Be Three") rather than French ("Deux Be Trois"). Hugely popular in France, despite attempts to break the American and British markets (via an English-language single, ''Excuse My French'', produced in Miami by Desmond Child), their only significant chart success occurred in their home nation. In 1997 they appeared in their own television series (called ''Pour être libre'') which ran for 40 episodes on TF1, and several videos were releas ...
