I have recently written how much I enjoy translating comic books. One of the best thing about them is that they come in series. And once they come out, they are released in regular intervals, so I receive a new issue every 1-2 months. Sadly, it also means that the end of the series is...Read More
And here’s what I’ve been busy with lately – the X-Men. I’ve always been a fan of comic books, having started with ‘Thorgal’ over 30 years ago.

It is a beautiful story for young readers – it stuck in my memory because it is completely different from most of...Read More

Wasn’t easy to trace, though. What exactly is it? Well, you can play detective without actually leaving your home. It turns...Read More
As an advocate of lifelong learning, I like to enrol on various courses and expand my competences. I used to limit myself to humanities, but recently I have come to realise that a humanist doesn’t necessarily have to be computer-illiterate. Late as it may be, I have decided to explore IT.
