We should remember the past to build a better future. All European countries brought to the big screen the stories and atrocities of the last century. The exercise of putting together a list of historical films enables us to appreciate fully the lessons of the past and compare how distinctive historical events took a prominent place in the EUROPEAN SUPERHEROES Gunnar. In Marvel stories, Gunnar is a member of the SHE (Super Heroes of Europe). Many years ago the nations of Europe founded the S.H.E. – a coalition of European-based super-humans dedicated to defending the continent from all threats and acting as a peacekeeping force throughout the world. Some of the members of S.H.E. were killed by Void, but the organization survived and the affected EUROPEAN MYTHICAL CREATURES There has been a lot of work carried out to prepare this map of European mythical creatures.

French journalists often refer to the language of another European country with its most famous writer. Following this logic, English is the language of Shakespeare; German, the language of Goethe; Italian the language of Dante or Dutch the language of Vondel.All these expressions refer to national literature masters, who have built the basis for their national literature and cultures.

A Portuguese proverb says “Antes dentes que parentes” which basically means “It’s better to lose teeth than relatives”.If no one would honestly disagree with that saying, one could also add that loosing a teeth actually brings you a new relative: the Fada dos dentes.This Portuguese variation of the Tooth Fairy, comes at night with a small payment to replace a lost EUROPEAN SWEAR WORDS Goddammit! We all knew that Europeans swear like troopers but we may have forgotten how creative they can be. Captain Haddock had better watch out: he has serious competitors. “Fuck!” says the Brit, “Putain!” answers the French, “Cazzo!” replies the Italian, “Kurwa!” says the PoleEuropeans have their own words to express anger, irritation, contempt, or disappointment, but PORTUGAL - THE COCK OF BARCELOS - EUROPE IS NOT DEAD! Portugal – The Cock of Barcelos. A murder had been committed in the Portuguese town of Barcelos. Who was the criminal? Some stated that on the day of the crime, a Galician was passing through Barcelos on a pilgrimage and various circumstances pointed to his guilt. The Spaniard declared his innocence but he could present no proof. NORWAY - EAST OF THE SUN AND WEST OF THE MOON - EUROPE IS Norway – East of the Sun and West of the Moon. Once upon a time there was a poor peasant who had so many children that he did not have enough of either food or clothing to give them. Pretty children they all were, but the prettiest was the youngest daughter, who was so lovely there was no end to her loveliness.
