Akurat czytam

[vaud]

Cytat z czytanej właśnie:

" She took another breath and waited... A dozen more questions occured to me.
( Not to mention twenty-two possible solutions to each one, sixteen resulting
hypotheses and counter-theorems, eight abstract speculations, a quadrilateral
equation, two axioms, and a limerick. That's raw intelligence for you.). But
I said nothing."

Yhyhyhy, pani Wutko. Co za utwora-potwora?

[vaud]

Nie potwora. Ksiażka dla młodzieży. Jonathan Strout "Ptolemy's Gate". Trzecia
część Trylogii Bartimeusa. Bardzo lubie. Dużo smakowitych aluzji historycznych
i soczystego sarkazmu obficie podlanego ironią.

[brezly]

English czy American?

[vaud]

English. Rozumiem, że ma pan alergię...

[brezly]

Zaczynam u siebie stwierdzac cios w rodzaju odruchu warunkwoego, bynajmniej.
Brzmialo mi dobrze. Nieamerykansko. TO co pani cytowala, nie? :-)

[vaud]

No pewnie, ze nieamerykańsko. A jednak bestseller jest to tu. To jeszcze
cZytacik:

" As we were to leave the library compound ( chodzi o Biblioteke
Aleksandryjską), a clash of horns sounded in the street below. Up came a little
knot of soldiers, the Ptolemaic colors aflutter on their pikes. They drew apart
to reveal Ptolemy's cousin, the king's son and heir to the throne of Egypt,
slowly swaggering up the steps. In his train came an adorning cluster of
favorites - toadies and fawners to a man . ( They included senior priests,
nobles of the realm, flophouse drinking partners, professional wrestlers, a
bearded lady, and a midget. The king's son had a jaded apetite and broad
tastes; his socisl circle was wide.)"

[vaud]

miało być: social circle

[brezly]

Zawsze mam potem wrazenie ze oni w tym Egipcie po angielsku gadali :-)
