Dice la tarde: "Tengo sed de sombra!" Dice la luna: "Yo, sed de luceros." [...] Says the afternoon: "I'm thirsty for shadow!" Says the moon: "I want stars." |

Nâzım Hikmet had a dream
Yaşamak bir ağaç gibi tek ve hür
ve bir orman gibi kardeşçesine,
bu hasret bizim.
To live like a tree and at liberty
and brotherly like the trees of a forest,
this yearning is ours.
Nâzım Hikmet (15 January 1902 – 3 June 1963)

Beers & Books CCLXVII – Mankell: The White Lioness
The White Lioness* |
Henning Mankell (3 February 1948 – 5 October 2015)
* Unlike the German synopsis of this excellent political thriller the English one is suboptimal, to put it politely. F.e., the Broederbond is not about to orchestrate the murder of de Klerk but of Mandela.
