WARD NO.6, A SHORT STORY BY ANTON CHEKHOV (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)
Today I'll share a review for Ward No. 6 ( Палата № 6) a short story by Anton Chekhov. First published in 1892, this story is still relevant. It criticizes society (especially its treatment of mentally ill) through observing one doctor's existential crisis. While telling a story of one doctor's burnout, Ward No.6 opens many interesting questions about human suffering and the meaning of life. While I was in Split, I stumbled across an Italian edition of this story in a that antique/second hand bookshop I told you about, so I bought it. Short stories are a great choice whenever you're pressed for time. I have already read this story in Croatian a couple of times. Possibly I had also listened to some of the Russian audio-versions on YouTube at some point, but I'm not certain. I'm actually listening to the above mentioned and linked audiobook while I'm putting this post together, just to refresh my memory. You can read this short story in English for free on...

DeleteHello Ivana,
ReplyDeleteunfortunately you didnt write about your pics - i would love to know more about it.
Please tell me: who is this on your first pic? I love this shot - gosh, this is wonderful!!!
I love the combo on the left: leggings, tights and heeled sandals. I hear the "fashion-police" screaming in the background: "wearing tights in open shoes/sandals - this is a absolutely NO-GO!!!" Do you know this phrase as well? But i say: this is a absolutely "YES-GO". Is it in your country the same, that women dont wearing tights to open shoes?
If i´m looking on the blogs of some of my followers, i see women they dont wearing tights - even in this autumn-season. I cant understand it.
What your thoughts about this?
Bye.

Hi dear...I took these photos at that fashion show, so in the first photo you can see the heels of the make up artist and the model. They were standing facing one another while the make up was applied. It seems like a good detail to me, so I took a photo of it.
Deleteyesterday, I went to a wedding and almost all women wore tights. The only ones who didn't were the ones who had long dresses. We always wear high heels to weddings here, it is part of the dress code and it is much easier to walk and dance in them in tights.....I think women here wear tights more often than in some other countries.
Like yourself, I think there is nothing wrong with wearing tights to open toe shoes.
hey my dear,
Deletethanks for your description - i appreciate.
So far i was´nt on a wedding, but i can say, that not very much women wearing tights in my region. The most i see are mostly (black) opaque tights - proper to the autumn season right now. And Teens wearing (knee)socks. I think they dont even know pantyhoses...;-) And "heeled" women??? Not really. On the streets i see very much Ballerinas and Boots - this is ok - i like this shoes! But in the city (on a shopping day) there are no Heels on women feets.
Bye.
