Pardon, scuzati, bonsoir by Andrei Plesu is a short, hilarious, if at times saddening, and excellent text – you find thousands of reviews of magnum opera from The Greatest Books of All Time and other lists on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube channel

Andrei Plesu https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2023/11/toleranta-si-intolerabilulcriza-unui.html is the greatest thinker in my land, and one of the most intelligent, charming, erudite, humorous, mesmerizing luminaries of our age, and of all time, come to think of it – among other things, he makes me reconsider faith, religion

 

He has written wonderful books, essays, he even reads some of those, and we can hear him on YouTube, or else I have bought some disks, maybe twenty years ago, when you would insert those and then you could listen to audiobooks, today you stream those, albeit, there are multiple options, LibriVox, Gutenberg, etc.

Magister Ludi touches on various themes, one had to do with the attacks which he has had to endure, when he was alive, mad Vadim Tudor would pick on the philosopher, saying that ‘he used to eat forty trout at a meal, would chase women and men at night, in the courtyard of castle Peles, and other such nonsense…

 

Flourish https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/flourish-by-martin-seligman.html by Martin Seligman comes to mind – a segment that is now in the background has the talented speaker analyze the fashion of wearing torn jeans – the idea might be to pretend some sort of pauperism, initially, jeans were for the workmen

Then he takes on another thing I also find puzzling, the lips that women have these days, fortunately, not all, but it looks like a trend that annoys, at least the author is saying that ‘it looks like two sausages have been applied’, and then ‘how do you go about kissing such an installation, even grandmothers would be sexier’

 

A longer segment has to do with his Indonesian adventure, Andrei Plesu was invited to attend a conference, in the communist period – I took part in the revolution that deposed Ceausescu, I am proud to say http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html - and what a kerfuffle that was

The incompetent regime had cronies in embassies, they had the philosopher travel almost all the way round the world, where the ambassador wanted to claim money from officials for a conference that was not attended, there were all sorts of failures, the traveler was given petty money, ten dollars, or five rupees to deal with it

 

Back home, this high-ranking fellow, Mircea Malitza, was all criticism, and stupid analysis, claiming the public purse had paid for this ‘travel to an exotic land’, when in fact, this was more like torture than anything else, however, the result is a hilarious story https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-glass-beads-game-by-herman-hesse.html

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
