About Me

Hi, I'm Julia, a writer, historian and journalist, passionately in love with Literature, Music, and Cinema. Julie Delvaux is my nom de plume. My other passions and interests include Photography (check the Flickr badge), Foreign Languages, Philosophy, Travels, Art (in general). I am fluent in Russian, English and French and read in German, Italian and Latin, which is why some of the posts are actually the translations. The blog content varies enough to include video and audio materials (also interviews) and illustrations. Check "About" and "My Links" for a quick access to my other places online, or "In the Media" for what others have to say about me. And, surely, never hesitate to email me or to comment.

You've rented a sky-writer to propose to your significant other, but it's completely overcast. What will you do?

Ditch the sky-writer - since when has love had to depend on the weather?
