accursed frost! (>.<)

it's -21℃ now... and it's getting colder (T_T)

the air is too dry and cold...

it's very hard to breathe (T_T)

today's songs

*melancholy mood*

sometimes dreams come true...

I've got a wonderful gift for my birthday this year

a book "Dostoyevsky's characters in Ilya Glazunov's illustrations"

this book is very rare. it was published in 1990.
I dreamt about it for many years and now I've got it *___*

actually I can talk a lot about this book ^^
because Dostoyevsky is one of my favourite writers and Glazunov is
one of my favourite artists...
but I think it's better to show you a few drawings.
maybe you'll like them too...

illustrations for "Crime and Punishment"

for "White Nights"

for "The Idiot"

for "Notes from a dead house"

for "The insulted and humiliated"

for "The brothers Karamazov"
