"View from Maiden Tower in Baku. This house here is from a German architect and is a rare example of 'Jugendstil' (Art Nouveau) in Baku! It seems also to be a very good address to live in... " (Tomke Lask)

GESCHICHTE:

Alexandre Dumas in Sumgayit

Foto und Text on September 26, 2006 von Tomke Lask
"Der alte Mann lebt in Sumgayit. Ich habe das Interview, das die Übersetzerin mit ihm auf Russisch gemacht hat mit meinem Fotoapparat gefilmt. Ich müßte seinen Namen ausfindig machen können. Er hat uns Geschichten erzählt, die sein Großvater ihm erzählt hat über die Tage, die Alexandre Dumas und sein Gefolge in Sumgayit verbracht haben, wo sie am Strand gecampt haben, was sie gegesen haben etc. Das azeri Kultusministerium möchte gerne einen Kulturweg aufbauen mit Dumas Buch 'Der Kaukasus' als Grundlage. Das Problem ist, daß nur länderübergreifende Koperationen dieser Art vom Europarat unterstützt werden. Ein Vertreter von Georgien war beim ersten Treffen in Baku dabei, sowie jemand von Dagestan, aber wir haben keine Erlaubnis erhalten in diesen beiden Ländern Dumas Route auszukundschaften. Eigentlich müßte Armenien ja auch dabei sein, aber das wird so schnell nicht einmal erörtert werden aus wohlbekannten Gründen."

Hotel Patio in Sheki, Azerbaijan

Uploaded on October 31, 2006 by Tomke Lask
They were making a film using the hotel for the casting of the story. It was very funny, because I didn't know that there was a film being done and I wondered why there were so many people in strange and colourful traditional outfits in the hotel.
Azerbaijan (Set)
The pictures are from a trip to Azerbaijan following Alexandre Dumas' voyage as he described it in his book 'Le Caucase' (http://www.dumaspere.com/)
It was on behalf of the Council of Europe and the European Institute of Cultural Routes that I participated in this mission that was to analyse the feasability of an Alexandre Dumas' cultural route from Daghestan to Azerbaijan and Georgia.
