Our first       adaptation of Crusoe is an early 3D movie shot for the       world's first no-goggles stereoscopic movie theater, in       Moscow:               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ4g2Zh162k              > Wuthering Heights (Bronte) has great characters, witty       > conversations, and fun turns of phrase.              Emily Bronte. On my to-read list.              > I have enjoyed the english translations of some books by       > Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. They are great epics of life and       > consequences.              Do try the shorter and later works by Tolstoy: Resurrection,       Kholstomer, and short stories. About "War and Pience" he       wrote: "I am not going to write such verbose dreck again."       We also have a very good screen adaptation of Resurrection:               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Ws9aK_S3U        (fragments)              -- shot when operators zoomed with their feet rather than       with variofocus lenses.              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 203/0 221/1 6 360 227/114 229/426 1014 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 382/147 423/81 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
