Pushkin's Eugene Onegin mentioned in Episode One

You can read Eugene Onegin on Project Gutenberg. Other version (including Kindle) are available here. However, better translations are available. The Penguin Classics version (translated by Charles Johnston) is highly recommended. I also liked the Douglas R. Hofstadter version.

The version available at Project Gutenberg is the Henry Spalding translation. (BTW, this is the same version available free on Kindle). The poetry just doesn't work as well for me. Alas, I hate to say it, but it's pretty much a great example of most poetry I dislike - more obsessed with meter and rhyming than the story.

Artwork Mentioned in Perfect, Episode Six ♦ Standstill

In Episode Six ♦ Standstill I mention three well-known artworks. Check them out at the following links:

♦ Ivan Aivazovsky's The Ninth Wave

♦ JMW Turner's The Slave Ship

♦ Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa

Website Updates

Perfect is now available in regular browser text or PDF. The current episode [Eleven] will be displayed on the main page for Perfect. Prior episodes are available in browser text here. Additionally, you can read all episodes as a PDF.

I've also decided to change the day on which future episodes will be available. Starting in 2013, new episodes will be available every other Wednesday. Episode Twelve will be available on Wednesday 3 January 2013.

Hope your holiday season is happy!
