Det är synd, men det enda av hans böcker som jag hitter översatt till svenska är hans första – The Traveller’s Tree – som listas i Kungliga Biblioteket som “De resandes träd : en resa till Antillerna / [övers. av Torsten Blomkvist]” Det kom ut in 1951.
Hans engelska kan vara komplicerad men, om du ta honom i små doser hoppas jag du kommer att upskatta honom lika mycket som jag. Lycka till!
Kram.

Although perhaps he could also be irritating. While I was looking for pictures to illustrate this article I came across the following quote. I couldn’t find a way to fit it into the article, but it’s a nice counterpoint to the story of Paddy quoting the rest of General Kreipe’s Latin poem.

Patrick Leigh Fermor once seriously annoyed Richard Burton at a London dinner table with Elizabeth Taylor. Burton was in the mood for quoting Shakespeare but the second he stopped, Paddy would cap the quote and go on for several more lines. Finally Burton kicked back his chair and said “Elizabeth, we’re leaving!” Their distraught host accompanied his star guests to the door, urging them not to mind Paddy, who was, after all, a war hero. “F*** war heroes!” roared Burton.

I think it may be from Artemis Cooper’s biography Patrick Leigh Fermor: An Adventure.
