The word is the passpartout that opens any door of the world. Do you like to be a Passpartout?
Today, in Internet era, 80 days to make the turn of the world seem an eternity.
And if for once time don't we turn the world, but we make to turn the world with our stories? I'd like to be a second of world's life.
The desire of the blog that we have opened is to collect histories. A world in a page of common diary.
It will be interesting to read every day a different story from a different people that live in a different place of this world.
Join us if you want, just write what has happened to you today, in english and in your mother tongue also add an image from your phone, your camera or anything else and send all to
story@oneworldmanylifes.com.
We want to meet you! We want to meet you story.
He Joop, wat vond je van Godenslaap? Moet er nog aan gaan beginnen en ben erg benieuwd!
Hij was hier en daar wel grappig. Vooral als je Frankrijk een beetje kent is-ie leuk. Maar er is geen verhaal (letterlijk), dus op dat front valt-ie erg tegen.
Vet he! Ik zal hem vanavond weer uit de kast pakken.
Godverdomse dagen is geweldig, eenduidig aan te raden.

Maybe I need to explain a few things first. Agrippa d'Aubigné is one of the main protestant dudes in France in the late 16th century: that's in the middle of the Wars of Religion, and consequently the period is marked by extreme violence between the Catholics (mainly the kings and their allies) and protestants, who are severely persecuted (think about the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre - thousands of protestants were slaughtered). In the middle of this mess, d'Aubigné (who fought in the wars on the protestant side) managed to write this 300 page epic about the protestant faith. In rhyme. In 16th century French.
Being originally a Catholic myself (which of course, means absolutely nothing at all), I felt rather shocked, and even guilty! Can you imagine, more than 400 years later! Of course, I feel guilty about almost everything (yesterday I felt guilty about not letting a cat pass in front of me, and almost apologized), so I speak for myself, I guess.
Anyway, so that's 300 pages filled with prophesies right out of the Bible, extreme bashing of the Catholic church, monks, kings, hypocrites and "mignons" (Henri II's palls - said to be more than just friends...). In the process, about a thousand different images of the Devil and Hell and extreme suffering are summoned. If you're in to writing heavy metal songs, this stuff is a great source for inspiration!
He sincerely believed that the End of Times was about to come, and that fervent, extreme spirit of despair, hope and rejoicing in the coming of the Lord, and the extreme hate that he portrays toward the corrupt Catholic world, make for good reading! How this guy actually got through the censorship at the time, is a mystery.
But even if it's very fascinating, it's so difficult... It's written in 16th century French, and it's loooong... very long. Then again, maybe, just maybe, if a read a bit out of it every day, I might finish it in a year or two...
