We’re Back from Short Winter Holiday Trips

We are releating ourselves from the Family, skiing and holidays are quite an effort. Immediately after them, statistically, crazy plans should appear more often, to drop everything as in an old joke and leave, go alone, far beyond the borders Net, have a moment for yourself, because at Christmas it didn't work out again. 

If a journey through real space suits you, start with illustrated editions Ulysses Joyc. Calm down, you don't have to read, it's, as the joycelogists determined a long time ago, the first (101 years ago) fully autonomous novel, it flows by itself. Apparently like some ancient stream (Styks, Lete), all the same thing, the important thing is that you don't have to do it yourself - literally - nothing. If a passenger glances at himself, here and there. The text was quite lame for this Irish author, in some places it looks like a ram's kirdel at the height of the Konotopa knot on Two Called the "Freedom Highway". Even two solid translations: Maciej Słomczyński from years ago and Maciej Świerkocki's new ones were not able to unload the carom and the complete jam of meaning in this novel. Like in space, cramped, dark. On the other hand, some illustrations are immediately able to tear a person out of midnight desperation.

If someone feels insecure at the beginning of such an escapade, does not know if he can fly, he can start with Matisse, for example, who not only illustrated but also signed a number of New York editions Ulysses Together with the author in the 1930s. Their prices at auctions are interesting if you could not tear yourself away from everyday professionalism even on such a private trip. If you don't like Matisse and his modernist quirks, start with Richard Hamilton. It's equal to The Peasants, a sincere pop partner, the one from building modern interiors (Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?) from what is at hand. In Hamilton's illustrations, instead of rowing with Ulysses all over the world, a man immediately finds a cool company, somewhere halfway between Easter Island and Upper Egypt. Good companionship in any type of space we know is the most important thing. Enjoy your ride and take your time back. After Christmas, a person must take a sleep, gather thoughts along the way. They say that Ulysses has a chance to become the patron of the couriers this quarter, between June 16 and the equinoction.
