  This is the story of Tiberius Claudius Nero, the step-son of Augustus Caesar, who, despite obstacles and his own reluctance, became the second emperor of Rome. His public life spanned the tumultuous period of transition from the Roman Republic to the Emperorship, and his private life took a series of unusual and surprising turns. He proved himself to be Rome’s greatest general of the day, but he had been forced into an unhappy marriage to Augustus’ recalcitrant daughter Julia, and he abandoned his duties and moved to the Island of Rhodes, where he studied Greek art and philosophy. Eventually, he had to return to Rome to lead the legions, and when Augustus died, Tiberius became emperor. Again, he left Rome and ruled it from the Island of Capri.

  "Before my version begins to fade, 
  Let me relieve what happened today. 
  Today was not a lifetime of discrimination and shame, 
  But of celebration as a black man living in Ukraine." 
  - culled from the EPIGRAPH 
  A brave and explorative Artisan 
  Calm exterior but he was born a warrior 
  A Leon not bothered about territory 
  A Leon who hunted alone. 
  And a Leon who hurt alone. 
  With a free prefrontal cortex, he came prepared for learning... 
  And learn he did, as his memory campus would get soiled with complex realities. 
  In my first anatomy tour, all I saw were dry cadavers, 
  But by the end of my tenure, I saw my own fresh blood. 
  No tribal marks but you can tell he started out with an Afro. 
  And in this foreign soil, explorations were his special dish. 
  To-and-fro he evolved... and no, he didn't hail from the safari. 
  From a genial ark but he always kept his wits about him. 
  And when he stepped out, he was like a fresh aphrodisiac. 
  Through his eyes, you could hear all of his favorite tunes. 
  Black vanilla at his core as he had a thing for interfacing. 
  General with a stylus brush, 
  Hankie forever in the back pocket. 
  Like his paws, his heart appears four-chambered, 
  But on closer inspection, you see a fifth chamber a short distance away from the rest. 
  A blind Cub walking in the midst of hyenas, 
  With lesions so deep, they suffocated him where it hurt most. 
  The pages are filled with art and expression, 
  As I relive this once-in-a-lifetime experience... 
  Which shaped me into the man I am today.

  The Grand Budapest Hotel is a whimsical comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, set in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka during the early 20th century.

When Gustave is accused of murder, the two embark on a thrilling journey involving stolen art, family feuds, and a series of misadventures. The film explores themes of loyalty, friendship, nostalgia, and the rise of fascism, blending humor with poignant moments, all delivered in Anderson's signature visual style and precise storytelling. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The Grand Budapest Hotel became the highest-grossing independent movie of 2014 and also the highest-grossing limited-release movie of that year.” 
    
  “The fictional country of Zubrowka, where the film takes place, was named after a Polish vodka liqueur called Zubrowka.” 
    
  “Saoirse Ronan, who plays Agatha, explained in an interview that making the hotel's signature pastry, the Courtisane au Chocolat, wasn’t easy. Unlike most films, the food plays a major role and required actual baking.” 
    
  “L'Air de Panache (The Air of Plume) was a fragrance created by a Parisian boutique for Wes Anderson to gift his actors and actresses.”

  Domi, a suburban wanker, joins a street marketing company. There, he has a genius idea that will make a mess without limits. If you are curious of French underground culture, graffiti, slang, riots, art & revolution, this is your book. 
  "I was in a school called "bourgeois". And in the said school, I was automatically excluded by the associations of young rich white Parisians who had the art of intrigue and treachery in their blood. And all this beautiful world looked at each other in the white of the eye while rolling cigarettes and saying to themselves: "What the fuck am I doing here? Big, big doubt about the merits of decentralization. At least it kept me from getting up at noon, a bit like a civil servant reassured not to be unemployed..."
