Kamini, I just edited my post to include Anthea Bell's info. And I put a shoutout to you!!! Thanks so much. I loved Cornelia Funke (Parthiv loved her work) and I had no idea I'd read Bell in translation before.....so this was wonderful to know.
What a terrifying vision of life as it could be, if we’re not careful. Which reminds me of a placard I saw, stuck to a wall in Fort Collins: IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT YOUD DO IN THE EARLY DAYS OF A FASCIST TAKEOVER, NOW YOU KNOW: ITS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
And how quickly we can get there....! Just yesterday, a Russian man here in the Bay Area was telling us that what India needs is one leader who can take us to a better place by rooting out all its problems. One person who will work in a focused way (without caring to remain a democracy). Democracy, he feels, is slowing us down. What if that man (or woman), with power, and more absolute power, changes color while getting things done?
The same Anthea Bell of Asterix fame?
Really?!?!?! I don’t know! Wow!!!!
I just checked on Google, and yes, it's the same person!
Wow! Who knew!!!!!
