This shakespearean adaptation (or “literary mashup” as the Wall Street Journal puts it) of the Coen Brothers’ movie went viral in just a few days. Read the story here.
“Emmanuel Frémiet (December 6, 1824 – 10 September 1910) was a French sculptor. […] In the meanwhile he had exhibited his masterly “Gorilla Carrying off a Woman” which won him a medal of honour at the Salon of 1887. Although praised in its time, this work now evokes ridicule from some observers for its depiction of a gorilla abducting a nude woman, presumably with the intention of raping her - something not totally alien to actual gorilla behaviour, but orangutans, especially, have been recorded attempting to abduct female humans. Accordingly, this act has caught the public’s imagination, as witnessed by the repeated popularity of the King Kong theme.” (Wikipedia)
“The Loeb Classical Library is a series of books, today published by the Harvard University Press, which presents important works of ancient Greek and Latin Literature in a way designed to make the text accessible to the broadest possible audience, by presenting the original Greek or Latin text on each left-hand leaf, and a fairly literal translation on the facing page.The series was conceived and initially funded by James Loeb. The first volumes were edited by T. E. Page, W. H. D. Rouse, and Edward Capps, and published by William Heinemann and company in 1912, already in their distinctive green (for Greek text) and red (for Latin) hardcover bindings.” (Wikipedia).
“This feature about Philip Dick’s “Valis” experience was published in Weirdo comic #17 from summer, 1986. It is an interesting graphic interpretation of a series of events which happened to Dick in March of 1974. He spent the remaining years of his life trying to figure out what happened in those fateful months. You will find all 8 pages of this story here. The file sizes are rather large (120-140K each) so that the text was readable and the detail visible. Enjoy The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick. In typical Dick fashion, you will find that it raises more questions than it answers.”
