Are you watching War and Peace?
I am and I like it so much! I knew I had to wait on a bit to understand if I could love or hate this adaptation of Tolstoj's masterpiece, because I was not particularly enthusiastic at the end of its premiere. But episode after episode, I started appreciating the cast, the locations, the performances and the rendition of a story I already knew quite a lot about. I read the book (war scenes included!) a few years ago, what about you? Have you succeeded in going through the whole thick volume?
The Russian Darcy
Have you got a favourite character? I have and I guess he is a favourite of many. Andrew Davies, who adapted and sexed-up the novel for the small screen, defined Prince Bolkonsky as the Russian Darcy, and who better than Mr Davies would recognize a Darcy-like hero? Brooding and restless, reckelss and complicated he is perfect new addition to our gallery of romantic, charming heroes, isn't he?
