'Mein Kampf' 我的奮鬥 點滴
‘He didn’t have a Jewish grandfather, he didn’t spend his childhood in poverty, his father didn’t beat him more than most European fathers of the day belted their sons, he wasn’t bipolar, he didn’t have only one ball or syphilis, he wasn’t exceptionally anti-Semitic before he settled in Munich’ – Ascherson on Hitler, born #otd in 1889, from last year.


He did have friends, most of them married couples where the wife would mother Adolf, feed him cream cakes and be rewarded with displays of ‘Austrian charm’.

  • 1893 – Joan Miró, Spanish painter and sculptor (d. 1983)

Joan Miró was born on this day in 1893. Last year we took a tour of the space where the great painter worked.



As a reproduction of Joan Miró’s studio goes on show in London, his grandson gives Alastair Sooke a tour of the real thing.

Encouraged by Surrealism, Joan Miró developed a style that drew from highly personal and psychological references, which often began with a recognizable starting point.

墨子戰國著名思想家政治家科學家軍事家。春秋末戰國初期宋國(今河南商丘)人,一說魯國(今山東滕州木石)人,生卒年不詳,約為前479年—前381年以內[a]。他提出了「兼愛」、「非攻」、「尚賢」、「尚同」、「天志」、「明鬼」、「非命」、「非儒」、「非樂」、「節葬」、「節用」、「交相利」等觀點,創立墨家學說,並有《墨子》一書傳世。墨家在當時影響很大,《孟子·滕文公》篇云:「楊朱、墨翟之言盈天下,天下之言,不歸於楊,即歸墨。」可知戰國之世,墨家屬顯學。《墨子》一書中體現的墨子的思想在後世仍具有一定影響,廣為流傳的《千字文》中便記載了出自《墨子·所染》的「墨悲絲染」的故事。到了清朝,隨著諸子學的興起,學者對墨子思想的研究又提升到新的高度。
