Biography

Born on December 17, 1975 in Kyiv. Father - Bogdan Jovovich, a doctor from Montenegro[2]; mother - Galina Loginova, Russian by nationality, Soviet and American actress. As a child, Milla went to kindergarten in Dnepropetrovsk[3]. In 1980[4], the family moved to London, then to Sacramento, USA, and then to Los Angeles. In the early 1980s, her parents worked as servants in the house of director Brian De Palma. At school, other children were hostile to her due to the fact that her parents were from the Soviet Union (which was associated with a new round of the Cold War)[5]. When Jovovich was 15 years old, her father was arrested and sentenced to 20 years for financial fraud with health insurance[6] (he spent five years in prison)[7]. Milla’s upbringing and promotion in show business was initially handled by her mother, Galina Jovovich, who later returned to cinema herself.

In the modeling business since the age of 11, she first appeared on the cover of the Italian magazine “Lei”. Later, the famous American photographer Richard Avedon offered her a photo shoot for Mademoiselle magazine. When the magazine editor found out the model's age, he rushed to take down Jovovich's photo. Only after a warning from Avedon were the photographs restored. The problem of attracting minors to show business became the subject of conversation on American talk shows for several months. This year, Milla appeared on the covers of 15 magazines.

Milla Jovovich starred in Revlon's "World's Most Unforgettable Women" campaign. She signed contracts with Hugo Boss, Guess, Calvin Klein; fees reached 3 thousand dollars a day. Since 1998 - advertising face of L'Oreal.

She first appeared in films at the age of 13 in Zalman King's film Two Moons Junction (1988). At the age of 15, she starred in the film Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991). In 1992, in the film “Chaplin” she played Charlie Chaplin’s wife, Mildred Harris. On the set of the film “Dazed and Confused,” where she played a cameo role, Jovovich met actor Sean Andrews. They got married in October 1992, but divorced a month later.

In 1994, Jovovich released his first music album, The Divine Comedy. Jovovich goes on tour with his band “Plastic Has Memory” in Europe and the USA.

However, in 1996, she returned to cinema, participating in the casting for a role in a film directed by Luc Besson. On her second attempt, she got the role and in 1997 starred in the film The Fifth Element. At the end of the year she marries Besson. In 1998, Jovovich appeared as a prostitute in Spike Lee's film His Game with Denzel Washington. In 1999, she played the role of Joan of Arc in Besson's film of the same name and divorced him in the same year.

In 2000, at the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, the premiere of a new film with the participation of Jovovich and Mel Gibson took place - Wim Wenders' film "The Million Dollar Hotel" based on the script of the band's lead singer, Bono. The film received the festival prize - “Silver Bear”. In 2001, Jovovich starred in Ben Stiller's comedy Zoolander.

Jovovich, together with model Carmen Hawk, is the creator of the clothing line “Jovovich-Hawk”[8]. In 2004, she was the highest paid model, advertising L'Oreal cosmetics. According to the Forbes magazine rating, her income was $10.5 million (including fees for filming films). In 2005, Jovovich visited Ukraine to participate in the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the international children's camp "Artek" in Crimea[9].

She starred in five Resident Evil action films directed by Paul Anderson. In March 2006, the thriller Ultraviolet was released. The same year saw the limited release of the crime drama 45 Caliber. On the official website, Jovovich announced her participation in Paul Verhoeven’s film “The Winter Queen” based on the novel by Boris Akunin[10]. On February 28, 2007, Verhoeven announced that the film's title would be changed from the original to "Azazel" (Azazel is a desert demon according to the beliefs of the ancient Jews). The new name, in his opinion, is more intriguing[11].

In 2009, she starred in an erotic photo shoot for Purple Fashion magazine, photographed by Mario Sorrenti[12].

In 2010, she became the face of a special limited-edition Tommy Hilfiger charity bag to benefit Breast Health International. The organization deals with the problems of breast cancer in women[13].

In 2010, she starred in the film “Freaks,” in which she played together with Russian actors Konstantin Khabensky and Ivan Urgant.[14] As part of the promotion of the film, she participated in the show “ProjectorParisHilton” (issue dated February 19, 2011)[15].

Milla Jovovich: I never left Russia

She doesn't speak much in the film, but she fights really well. Mila is even more attractive in real life than on screen. She is very lively and relaxed. She has a charming smile, huge radiant eyes, and a singing voice, like her heroine in The Fifth Element. She became even slimmer, apparently due to her passion for martial arts in connection with her role in the film “Ultraviolet”, where she did 90 percent of the stunts herself, except for those where her heroine flies on motorcycles: Mila is terribly afraid of these “coffins on wheels”...

Russian newspaper | Mila, what is your attitude towards today’s Russia?

Milla Jovovich | I love Russia very much. I am very happy that I was invited. I don't have words to say how I feel.

RG | Your Russian is good!

Jovovich | At home my mother spoke Russian to me.

RG | What did you remember when you left Russia?

Jovovich | I didn't leave Russia!

RG | Yes?

Jovovich | No. Mom and dad left Russia. That I, in five years, will remain in Russia myself...

(Mila’s mother, Galina Loginova, had to leave the USSR because of her husband, the Yugoslav Bogi Jovovich: Tatyana Bronzova, the wife of Boris Shcherbakov, saw her off at the station.) When Galina Loginova realized that she could not make a career as an actress in America, she began make an actress out of your daughter.

The peaks of Milla Jovovich's career include the role of Lilu in The Fifth Element and Joan of Arc in the film The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc. Moreover, she received both of these roles thanks to Luc Besson, her ex-husband.

(For Luc Besson, Mila became a real muse. The wedding was quick and unexpected; during the wedding, the newlyweds jumped with a parachute. Now she is dating the guitarist of the cult rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante. - Author's note.)

RG | What do Russian roots mean to you?

Jovovich | I'm very proud of them. The strength of will that I feel in myself, I owe to my origin. I feel like a woman of the world. I have a European education because my parents are Europeans. I speak Russian, English and French.

RG | When was the last time you were in Moscow?

Jovovich | It seems like 10 years ago...

RG | How do you imagine the future on earth?

Jovovich | Well, like in The Fifth Element: skyscrapers, cars, or like in Ultraviolet.

RG | Is it true that your plans are to star in Paul Verhoeven's film The Winter Queen? Was the script written based on Boris Akunin?

Jovovich | I love costume movies.

RG | What language do you read Russian literature in?

Jovovich | In Russian…

In Moscow, Mila also took part in the first MTV Russia Cinema Awards ceremony, where the most popular films, film scenes and film actors among MTV viewers were honored. This time, the winners of domestic film production were determined by viewers via the Internet and SMS voting.

The prestige of the award was confirmed by the presence of producers from leading channels, media actors and directors. Konstantin Ernst came with Timur Bekmambetov, the director of “Day Watch,” and with a young lady, whom he tenderly hugged. Finally, having allowed himself to be photographed with a stranger, Konstantin Ernst stated that this was his eldest daughter Nastya.

...On the movie stage, Mila appeared with a short haircut in the style of the 30s and in a black silk sundress, emphasizing her ideal figure (the actress has been in the modeling business since she was 11 years old).

“I’m so happy to be in Moscow,” she spoke in Russian with an accent, “to return to my homeland, and when MTV invited me to present film awards to Russian films, I immediately agreed, since Russian films are great.”

Having announced “Best Actor,” Milla Jovovich presented the award in the form of a “cracker” to Alexei Chadov, who beat Konstantin Khabensky, who played in “9th Company.”

“Ay love yu,” the star shouted to the audience and sat down in the first row of the stalls. All evening Mila clapped heartily - either to Zhanna Friske, as the best actress, or to Fyodor Bondarchuk, and when the group “My leg cramped!” voiced the composition “Let’s go East” from “The Turkish Gambit”, Mila began to dance right in the audience’s chair...

“Mila, act in Russian cinema,” Konstantin Ernst addressed the star, “you won’t regret it...

Around midnight, when the ceremony ended, bodyguards surrounded Jovovich, saving her from camera flashes. At midnight, she arrived at the autoparty, leading her fans, who were not allowed in by security, through security guards into the nightclub. She left the club in the morning, and a passer-by congratulated her on Easter.

Milla Jovovich (biography)


The now world-famous American film actress, model, official face of several cosmetic and clothing brands, as well as musician – Milla Jovovich – was actually born in Kiev in 1975
.
A girl was born on December
17 in the family of the Montenegrin doctor Bogdan Jovovich and the famous USSR actress Galina Loginova.
The girl's name at birth was Milica Bogdanovna Jovovich. The childhood of the future star up to 5
years old took place in Dnepropetrovsk and Moscow. After this, the Jovovich family first moved to London, moved to Sacramento and finally settled in Los Angeles.


Life in America turns out to be difficult for a young family. Galina Loginova, who had success in cinema in the USSR, faces an insurmountable barrier in the USA. Firstly: the language barrier hinders her. Directors and screenwriters refuse to work with a foreign actress. Secondly: the situation is aggravated by the tense situation between the USA and the USSR. For Americans, the Jovovich family stands out from the crowd. And it doesn’t stand out in a favorable light. Milla faces the same difficulties at school. But even her rapid mastery of the language does not save her from ridicule and sidelong glances from her young peers. The situation becomes very complicated after a few years. Due to problems with adaptation in another country, domestic disagreements, and conflicts between spouses, the family falls apart. Milla remains with her mother, who is trying in every possible way to provide her with a bright future. The girl, having never found understanding among her classmates and peers, tries herself as a model. Having received the first positive feedback, Milla quits studying altogether in order to develop further in her chosen field. But Galina, Milla’s mother, with an experienced eye managed to recognize the actress in her young daughter in time. Subsequently, the girl will undergo training at the California School of Professional Actors, strongly encouraged by her mother. Galina Loginova will also return to cinema, but a little later. She will play in both American and Russian films.


So, young Milla gained some fame at the age of 9

years as an Italian magazine model, and later starred in Mademoiselle magazine.
After the general public became aware of such a young age of the model, whose photographs appeared on the pages of publications, a serious scandal broke out. American television programs, countless talk shows, seemed to discuss this topic endlessly, and the media also played a role. Later, when the incident subsided, the girl began to regularly appear in fashion publications. In one year, Milla appeared on the covers of 15
magazines.


After such a stormy debut in the modeling business, Milla simply began to receive lucrative cooperation offers!
In the near future she will enter into contracts with clothing brands Guess, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss. Later, by 2010
, the model will collaborate with the Tommy Hilfiger brand in a charity campaign dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.
In addition, well-known cosmetic companies pay attention to a model with an outstanding appearance. For example, Milla became the official advertising face of the L'Oreal brand in 1998
.
The girl’s career as an actress began in 1988
with a role in the film “The Confluence of Two Moons.”
At that time she was only 13
years old.
Two years later, she successfully starred in the title role of the film Return to the Blue Lagoon. A year later, the role of Mildred Harris in the film “Chaplin” and one of the cameo roles in the film “Dazed and Confused” followed. At this point, her career as an actress is temporarily suspended. Milla will return to cinema, but only after 4
years.

Biography and career[ | ]

Born on December 17, 1975 in Kyiv. Milla's grandfather and brother, Bogdan and Branko Jovovic, took part in the attempt to overthrow Josip Broz Tito. Brothers Bogdan and Branko Jovovic with their friend Milita Perovic arrived in Kyiv in the early 1960s, sailed to Odessa from Albania on a Soviet ship under the guise of tourists, they were fleeing the wrath of Josip Broz Tito[2].

In 1980[8], the family moved to London, then to Sacramento, USA, and then, seven months later, to Los Angeles. There, Galina tried to continue her acting career, but due to the language barrier she was unable to succeed, which is why she and her husband worked as servants for some time. In particular, they were cleaners and cooks in the house of director Brian De Palma. Some time after moving to Los Angeles, Bogic and Galina divorced. A few years later, Bogich started an affair with a certain Argentinean woman, and from this relationship Milla has a younger half-brother, Marco (born in 1988), but due to her parents’ divorce, she rarely saw him.

Having started attending public schools in Los Angeles, Milla quickly, in three months, mastered the English language, but in schools other children still treated her with hostility due to the fact that her parents were from the Soviet Union (which was associated with a new round of Cold War)[9].

This is where Russian folklore comes in - flowery colors! Why did Mila choose a faded robe for the house, similar to the Soviet one? Followers assumed that it was from Gucci. But, you must admit, it looks like ordinary Ivanovo knitwear. Usually Mila has an excellent sense of taste. Apparently something went wrong this time.

What should I change in the image? Obviously a robe! This is one of the five mistakes in choosing home clothes. Ideally, for a home suit or dress.

Excerpt characterizing Jovovich, Milla

Bagration stopped and, without answering, tried to make out Rostov’s face in the fog. “Well, look,” he said, after a pause. - I’m listening s. Rostov gave spurs to his horse, called out to non-commissioned officer Fedchenka and two more hussars, ordered them to follow him and trotted down the hill towards the continued screams. It was both scary and fun for Rostov to travel alone with three hussars there, into this mysterious and dangerous foggy distance, where no one had been before. Bagration shouted to him from the mountain so that he should not go further than the stream, but Rostov pretended as if he had not heard his words, and, without stopping, rode further and further, constantly being deceived, mistaking bushes for trees and potholes for people and constantly explaining his deceptions. Trotting down the mountain, he no longer saw either ours or the enemy’s fires, but heard the cries of the French louder and more clearly. In the hollow he saw in front of him something like a river, but when he reached it, he recognized the road he had passed. Having ridden out onto the road, he held his horse back, undecided: to ride along it, or to cross it and ride uphill through a black field. It was safer to drive along the road that became lighter in the fog, because it was easier to see people. “Follow me,” he said, crossed the road and began to gallop up the mountain, to the place where the French picket had been stationed since the evening. - Your Honor, here he is! - one of the hussars said from behind. And before Rostov had time to see something suddenly blackened in the fog, a light flashed, a shot clicked, and the bullet, as if complaining about something, buzzed high in the fog and flew out of earshot. The other gun did not fire, but a light flashed on the shelf. Rostov turned his horse and galloped back. Four more shots rang out at different intervals, and bullets sang in different tones somewhere in the fog. Rostov reined in his horse, which was as cheerful as he was from the shots, and rode at a walk. “Well then, well again!” some cheerful voice spoke in his soul. But there were no more shots. Just approaching Bagration, Rostov again put his horse into a gallop and, holding his hand at the visor, rode up to him. Dolgorukov still insisted on his opinion that the French had retreated and only set up the fires to deceive us. – What does this prove? - he said as Rostov drove up to them. “They could have retreated and left the pickets. “Apparently, not everyone has left yet, prince,” said Bagration. – Until tomorrow morning, tomorrow we’ll find out everything. “There’s a picket on the mountain, your Excellency, still in the same place where it was in the evening,” Rostov reported, bending forward, holding his hand to the visor and unable to contain the smile of amusement caused in him by his trip and, most importantly, by the sounds of bullets. “Okay, okay,” said Bagration, “thank you, Mr. Officer.” “Your Excellency,” said Rostov, “allow me to ask you.” - What's happened? “Tomorrow our squadron is assigned to reserves; Let me ask you to second me to the 1st squadron. - What's your last name? - Count Rostov. - Oh good. Remain with me as an orderly. – Ilya Andreich’s son? - said Dolgorukov. But Rostov did not answer him. - So I will hope, Your Excellency. - I will order. “Tomorrow, perhaps, they will send some kind of order to the sovereign,” he thought. - God bless". The screams and fires in the enemy army occurred because while Napoleon's order was being read among the troops, the emperor himself was riding around his bivouacs on horseback. The soldiers, seeing the emperor, lit bunches of straw and shouted: vive l'empereur! ran after him. Napoleon's order was as follows: “Soldiers! The Russian army comes out against you to avenge the Austrian, Ulm army. These are the same battalions that you defeated at Gollabrunn and which you have since constantly pursued to this place. The positions we occupy are powerful, and while they move to flank me on the right, they will expose my flank! Soldiers! I myself will lead your battalions. I will stay far from the fire if you, with your usual courage, bring disorder and confusion into the enemy’s ranks; but if victory is in doubt for even one minute, you will see your emperor exposed to the first blows of the enemy, because there can be no doubt in victory, especially on a day in which the honor of the French infantry, which is so necessary for the honor of his nation, is at issue. Under the pretext of removing the wounded, do not upset the ranks! Let everyone be fully imbued with the thought that it is necessary to defeat these mercenaries of England, inspired by such hatred against our nation. This victory will end our campaign, and we can return to winter quarters, where new French troops that are forming in France will find us; and then the peace that I will make will be worthy of my people, you and me. Napoleon." At 5 o'clock in the morning it was still completely dark. The troops of the center, reserves and Bagration’s right flank still stood motionless; but on the left flank the columns of infantry, cavalry and artillery, which were supposed to be the first to descend from the heights in order to attack the French right flank and throw it back, according to disposition, into the Bohemian Mountains, had already begun to stir and began to rise from their overnight positions. The smoke from the fires into which they threw everything unnecessary ate my eyes. It was cold and dark. The officers hurriedly drank tea and had breakfast, the soldiers chewed crackers, beat a shot with their feet, warming up, and flocked against the fires, throwing into the firewood the remains of booths, chairs, tables, wheels, tubs, everything unnecessary that could not be taken with them. Austrian column leaders scurried between the Russian troops and served as harbingers of the attack. As soon as an Austrian officer appeared near the regimental commander’s camp, the regiment began to move: the soldiers ran from the fires, hid tubes in their boots, bags in the carts, dismantled their guns and lined up. The officers buttoned up, put on their swords and knapsacks and walked around the ranks, shouting; The wagon trains and orderlies harnessed, packed and tied up the carts. Adjutants, battalion and regimental commanders sat on horseback, crossed themselves, gave the last orders, instructions and instructions to the remaining convoys, and the monotonous tramp of a thousand feet sounded. The columns moved, not knowing where and not seeing from the people around them, from the smoke and from the increasing fog, either the area from which they were leaving or the one into which they were entering. A soldier on the move is as surrounded, limited and drawn by his regiment as a sailor by the ship on which he is located. No matter how far he goes, no matter what strange, unknown and dangerous latitudes he enters, around him - as for a sailor, there are always and everywhere the same decks, masts, ropes of his ship - always and everywhere the same comrades, the same rows, the same sergeant major Ivan Mitrich, the same company dog ​​Zhuchka, the same superiors. A soldier rarely wants to know the latitudes in which his entire ship is located; but on the day of battle, God knows how and from where, in the moral world of the army, one stern note is heard for everyone, which sounds like the approach of something decisive and solemn and arouses them to an unusual curiosity. During the days of battle, soldiers excitedly try to get out of the interests of their regiment, listen, look closely and eagerly ask about what is happening around them. The fog became so strong that, despite the fact that it was dawn, it was impossible to see ten steps in front of you. The bushes seemed like huge trees, the flat places looked like cliffs and slopes. Everywhere, from all sides, one could encounter an enemy invisible ten steps away. But the columns walked for a long time in the same fog, going down and up the mountains, passing gardens and fences, through new, incomprehensible terrain, never encountering the enemy. On the contrary, now in front, now behind, from all sides, the soldiers learned that our Russian columns were moving in the same direction. Every soldier felt good in his soul because he knew that in the same place where he was going, that is, unknown where, many, many more of ours were going. “Look, the Kursk soldiers have passed,” they said in the ranks. - Passion, my brother, that our troops have gathered! In the evening I looked at how the lights were laid out, there was no end in sight. Moscow - one word! Although none of the column commanders approached the ranks or spoke to the soldiers (the column commanders, as we saw at the military council, were not in a good mood and were dissatisfied with the undertaking and therefore only carried out orders and did not care about amusing the soldiers), despite However, the soldiers walked cheerfully, as always, going into action, especially offensively. But, after walking for about an hour in thick fog, most of the army had to stop, and an unpleasant consciousness of the ongoing disorder and confusion swept through the ranks. How this consciousness is transmitted is very difficult to determine; but what is certain is that it is transmitted unusually faithfully and spreads quickly, imperceptibly and uncontrollably, like water through a ravine. If the Russian army had been alone, without allies, then perhaps a lot of time would have passed before this consciousness of disorder would have become a general confidence; but now, with special pleasure and naturalness attributing the cause of the unrest to the stupid Germans, everyone was convinced that there was a harmful confusion caused by the sausage makers. - What did they become? Al blocked? Or have they already stumbled upon a Frenchman? - No, I haven’t heard. Otherwise he would have started firing. “They were in a hurry to speak out, but when they set out, they stood uselessly in the middle of the field—the damned Germans are confusing everything.” What stupid devils! “Then I would have let them go ahead.” And then, I suppose, they are huddling behind. So now stand there without eating. - So, will it be there soon? The cavalry, they say, blocked the road,” the officer said. “Oh, the damned Germans, they don’t know their land,” said another. -What division are you in? - the adjutant shouted as he drove up. - Eighteenth. - So why are you here? You should have been ahead a long time ago, now you won’t make it until evening. - Those orders are stupid; “They don’t know what they’re doing,” the officer said and drove off. Then a general drove by and shouted something angrily, not in Russian. “Tafa lafa, you can’t understand what he’s muttering,” said the soldier, mimicking the departed general. - I would shoot them, scoundrels! “We were told to be there at nine o’clock, but we weren’t even halfway through.” These are the orders! - repeated from different sides. And the feeling of energy with which the troops went into action began to turn into annoyance and anger at the stupid orders and at the Germans. The reason for the confusion was that while the Austrian cavalry was moving on the left flank, the higher authorities found that our center was too far from the right flank, and the entire cavalry was ordered to move to the right side. Several thousand cavalry advanced ahead of the infantry, and the infantry had to wait. Ahead there was a clash between the Austrian column leader and the Russian general. The Russian general shouted, demanding that the cavalry be stopped; the Austrian argued that it was not he who was to blame, but the higher authorities. Meanwhile, the troops stood, bored and discouraged. After an hour's delay, the troops finally moved further and began to descend down the mountain. The fog that dispersed on the mountain only spread thicker in the lower areas where the troops descended. Ahead, in the fog, one shot was heard, then another, at first awkwardly at different intervals: draft... tat, and then more and more smoothly and more often, and the matter began over the Goldbach River. Not expecting to meet the enemy below the river and accidentally stumbling upon him in the fog, not hearing a word of inspiration from the highest commanders, with the consciousness spreading throughout the troops that it was too late, and, most importantly, in the thick fog not seeing anything ahead and around them, the Russians lazily and slowly exchanged fire with the enemy, moved forward and stopped again, not receiving orders from the commanders and adjutants, who were wandering through the fog in an unfamiliar area, not finding their units of troops. Thus began the case for the first, second and third columns that went down. The fourth column, with Kutuzov himself, stood on the Pratsen Heights. At the bottom, where the matter began, there was still a thick fog, at the top it had cleared, but nothing was visible from what was happening ahead. Whether all the enemy forces, as we assumed, were ten miles away from us or whether he was here, in this line of fog, no one knew until the ninth hour. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. The fog spread like a continuous sea along the bottom, but near the village of Šlapanice, at the height at which Napoleon stood, surrounded by his marshals, it was completely light. Above him was a clear, blue sky, and a huge ball of the sun, like a huge hollow crimson float, swayed on the surface of a milky sea of ​​fog. Not only all the French troops, but Napoleon himself and his headquarters were located on the wrong side of the streams and the bottoms of the villages of Sokolnitz and Shlapanits, behind which we intended to take a position and begin business, but on this side, so close to our troops that Napoleon could in our army to distinguish horse from foot. Napoleon stood somewhat ahead of his marshals on a small gray Arabian horse, wearing a blue overcoat, the same one in which he fought the Italian campaign. He silently peered into the hills, which seemed to protrude from a sea of ​​fog, and along which Russian troops were moving in the distance, and listened to the sounds of shooting in the ravine. At that time, his still thin face did not move a single muscle; the shining eyes were motionless fixed on one place. His assumptions turned out to be correct. Some of the Russian troops had already descended into the ravine to the ponds and lakes, and some were clearing those Pratsen heights, which he intended to attack and considered to be the key to the position. He saw, in the midst of the fog, how, in a depression made up of two mountains near the village of Prats, Russian columns, all moving in one direction towards the hollows, bayonets shining, disappeared one after another into the sea of ​​fog. According to the information he received in the evening, from the sounds of wheels and footsteps heard at night at the outposts, from the disorderly movement of the Russian columns, from all assumptions, he clearly saw that the allies considered him far ahead of them, that the columns moving near Pratzen formed the center of the Russian army, and that the center is already weakened enough to attack it successfully. But he still hadn't started the business. Today was a solemn day for him - the anniversary of his coronation. Before the morning he dozed off for several hours and, healthy, cheerful, fresh, in that happy mood in which everything seems possible and everything succeeds, he mounted a horse and rode out into the field. He stood motionless, looking at the heights visible from behind the fog, and on his cold face there was that special shade of self-confident, well-deserved happiness that happens on the face of a loving and happy boy. The marshals stood behind him and did not dare to distract his attention. He looked first at the Pratsen Heights, then at the sun emerging from the fog.
