Geburtstag von L. Sprague de Camp (1907-2000)

Ich mag besonders sein amüsantes und unkonventionelles Sachbuch über Städte der Antike. Weltbürger, der er war, hatte er sämtliche Ausgrabungsstätten auch selbst besucht und brachte immer wieder eigene Anschauung und Interpretation ein. Laut zeitgenössischen Historikern hat er dabei erstaunlicherweise nie wirklich falsch gelegen. Sehr anregende Lektüre - allerdings in grässlicher deutscher Übersetzung.

Ilepro stared into the sapphire and made a motion with her free hand, meanwhile reciting something in her native tongue. Although she went too fast for Derezong Taash to understand, he caught a word, several times repeated, that shook him to the core. The word was “Tr’lang."
