У нас лето! Наверное, уже все отметили, что этот май слишком уж похож на июль, и как бы не было июля, похожего на май. Собственно, в подборке сегодня тоже лето. Может быть, не такое удушающе жаркое, но отнюдь не холодное или дождливое. Теплое, приятное и солнечное. Joseph Farquharson Summertime…

John Seymour Lucas 1849-1923 Engeland
Annabella Milbanke, 20, met poet Lord Byron at a morning waltzing party in London in 1812. Their marriage lasted only a year and it was a miserable fiasco from day one.
Salinger's "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction" emerges as a provoking exploration of human complexity.
It's true: Research shows that reading for as little as six minutes can reduce stress by 60%.
Though he co-founded Magnum Photos with Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and George Rodger and though - like them - he was one of the great documentary photographers of the 20th century, David 'Chim' Seymour is less famous than his colleagues. But this winter, a large retrospective in Amsterdam looks set to change all that. Chim [pronounced "Shim'] acquired his nickname from his surname, because he was born Dawid Szymin in Warsaw, Poland, in 1911. His family was Jewish, and his parents were respected publishers of Yiddish and Hebrew Books; Chim and his parents left Warsaw for Odessa as World War One broke out in 1914, returning to Warsaw in 1919. Chim studied printing in Leipzig, then chemistry and physics at the Sorbonne in Paris, but got into photography while in France and started working as a freelance journalist in 1933. His first credited photograph was published in 1934 in the French communist magazine Regards.

Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger ★★★★★ After reading The Catcher in the Rye I realized that angst and frustration were universal feelings. Franny and Zooey made me fall in love with the Glass family and decide to cover my walls with large sheets of handmade paper, covered in quotes. But it was Nine Stories that's always held my favorite bit of Salinger's writing. Where his other novels are sometimes a bit too dramatic for my taste, Nine Stories offers single servings, just enough that it feels like brilliance as opposed to whining. In these smaller doses Salinger's writing is poignant and powerful. He doesn't give the reader everything, he makes you work for it and I appreciate that. Many of the stories deal with someone connected to the Glass family in some way. I get something different from them each time I read one. My two favorites are "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," which broke my heart and "Down at the Dinghy," sweet in its innocence. "Teddy" is also memorable, because it's a bit disturbing. Nine Stories has always seemed a bit underrated, which probably makes me love it more. It contains some of Salinger's greatest characters, if only a snapshot of them, and helps me get a Salinger fix if I need one.
