On 30 August 2018: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fall of Gondolin was published. Edited by Christopher Tolkien, it's the tale of the elven city of Gondolin and its destruction, over 6,500 years before The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien called it "the first real story of this imaginary world".

Now wanted to share as of his birthday... my last acquisition from Viz of Ito Junji... curiously after gone through Lovesickness the content in Deserter has this look different in the draws and as pointed out by the edition these stories are from the first ones worked by Ito Junji.

Happy Birthday.

I made it to the line quoted ... reading it with context ... Aglaya...

I finished reading, No longer Human, 人間失格, or in Spanish: Indigno de ser Humano, I read the Spanish edition which is a wonderful edition of top quality by Satori editorial.

After finishing 人間失格, I was wondering what this guy, Dazai, life was about beyond the book I just finished, impossible to supposed or see anything further.

Then I saw this other book by Tuttle editorial and decided to read more of Dazai, actually just after finishing 人間失格, I wanted to read more of him, well with this new acquisition now I'm reading the first which is memories.

Well, happens that Memories is very aligned to the first pages of 人間失格, so I feel that indeed this book compliments exactly what I wanted, even more details about Dazai's family, Dazai's siblings, etc....

I wanted to share the photograph with you...

Saludos. =)

New Tolkien discovery at Oxford

A previously unpublished, nearly complete translation by J.R.R. Tolkien has been discovered by Dr Andoni Cossio from St Catherine's College, Oxford, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the scholar behind The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien was a Professor at Oxford from 1925 to 1959.

Upon checking on this version of Valdemar Gótica, I stared at the picture there and it was like... I've see this before.... Tool.... rings the bell... so the second picture is a paint by a Spanish artist called:

Ejercicio espiritual (Spiritual Exercise) created in 1964 by Spanish painter José Hernández.

Que loco nó?

I knew the pieces fit... 🔧🔩🔩🔩🔧
