    1. What is almost more frightening. After the war, he was seen by the "good guys" as a welcome development aid worker in matters of torture and sadism.

    1. Thanks a lot, Mark. At first glance, you seem to have outdone yourself this time. Great photos and the first three poems make you want to read more. But to read them all in a row would seem sacrilegious to me. So I will come back and enjoy them one by one.
      The peace of the night!

    1. En canvi, els bons després de la guerra el van veure com un benvingut treballador d'ajuda al desenvolupament en qüestions de tortura i sadisme. / Instead, he was seen by the good guys after the war as a welcome development aid worker in matters of torture and sadism.
      El llibre que jo sé no ha estat traduït; però estic segur que trobareu interessant "Hotel Terminus". / The book as far as I know has not been translated; but I am sure you will find 'Hotel Terminus' interesting.
      Aferradetes, Paula.
