Advantages: A masterpiece Disadvantages: A very long masterpiece
Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is an incredibly popular story. Well known and loved by many it has survived the passage of time and is as beguiling and popular now as it has ever been.
I say story rather than novel as this has been the subject of many film and TV adaptations, from Greta Garbo in 1935 to Sophie Marceau in 1997 the IMDb website lists no less than 24 different adaptations, from all over the world.
How popular the novel itself is is questionable, weighing in at over 800 pages it is quite daunting but if you've only seen the films you really have missed out. The novel is a masterpiece of literature and covers characters and themes far beyond the reach of film.
I'll be honest and say that I've never seen any of these adaptations but from the synopsis' and commentaries I've read it seems that they focus almost entirely ...
Advantages: Off the beaten track. Close to Portugal and Seville Disadvantages: English not widely spoken. Not much to do apart from sunbath
't think I can make a decision]).
So having looked at the Catalogue we plumped for the Confortel, Islantilla. This being positioned in Andalucia, near the border with Portugal. The Catalogue was Thomson and we bought the package (parking, flights, transfers and hotel). I will only assess the hotel here though. Oh and by the way the catalogue quotes it as a 4-star hotel rather than a 2-star (as quoted in the title). I myself would say it sat somewhere between 3 and 4.
We arrived at the hotel on Sunday afternoon (04/06) after a two and a half hour flight and 2 hour coach journey from the Portugese airport, 'Faro' (would have been more like an hour but our coach had several stops to make). From a distance the building looks fairly garish having had a recent paint job in red, orange and yellow (pictures included!) When you get closer to ...
Advantages: Skilled musicianship, unique interpretations Disadvantages: None, if you like the genre
THE SPACE IN TIME:
The first time I saw Leo Kottke live in concert was a long time ago on a planet far, far away -- in 1970 in suburban Philadelphia?s erstwhile hallowed folk-and-blues coffee house, ?The Main Line.? At one point between numbers as he swiveled on his stool to change guitars, Kottke accidentally banged one of them against the boom mic, which was hot at the time, resulting in a loud ?bang.?
His face took on a look of shock. He cradled the guitar in his arms as if it were a curvaceous woman, and after a moment of silence and a deep breath whispered to the crowd, ?You always hurt the one you love.?
I have never forgotten the obvious deep affection he expressed for his instrument as he examined it for nicks. To this day I refer to my own guitars as the lovers that keep me warm at 1 a.m. when my wife doesn ...
