Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772– 1834), British poet, has said that readers are divided into four classes: The first are like the hourglass and their reading being as the sand, it runs in and runs out, and leaves not a vestige behind, only reading for the sake of getting through time.
There’s nothing like the smell of old books or the crack of a new one’s spine. And it turns out that diving into a page-turner can also offer benefits toward your health and happiness.
“Horror shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.”
Frankly speaking we Eritreans don’t have official horror stories like the ones they have in the West. We don’t have, for example, the equivalents of Dracula or Adams family nor do we have special horror actors like Vincent Price, Sir Christopher Lee or writers like Sir Alfred Hitchcock, Stephen King who dominated the horror market in the past.
Nowadays our movie houses seem to have taken fancy to video films made in Eritrea by Eritreans. Long are gone the days of theatrical plays. What happened? Maybe it is easier to transport videos than a group of actors with their accoutrements. And stage actors may get ill and miss rehearsals. It is difficult to get a replacement soon. The understudy, under pressure of the shining light, usually tends to mess things up.
After being linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs, including Spanish giants Real Madrid, as well as Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus, Swedish-Eritrean football prodigy Alexander Isak completed a €10m move to Borussia Dortmund from AIK Solna last week. The tall, wiry 17-year-old striker, dubbed the “new Zlatan Ibrahimovic”, had recently become the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Swedish national team after netting in a 6-0 win against Slovakia on 12 January 2017.
Alexander Isak has had a week to remember. He made his debut against the Ivory Coast on Sunday, becoming the second-youngest player ever to turn out for the national team.
Eritrean Nguse Amlesom captured commanding victory at Madrid’s San Silvestre Vallecana, an IAAF Silver Label Road Race, on the New Year eve, frustrating what could be the first Spanish victory in 13 years.
