Dzisiaj Speak Your Language Day, więc narysowałem Holmesa po polsku, bo ngghhhh w tych tłumaczeniach oni są tak nielegalnie słodcy że no nie mogę xD
Zwykle wolę czytać książki w oryginale, ale ten fragment po polsku ma specjalne miejsce w moim sercu <3
(wiem ze ten font jest może mało czytelny, dałem transkrypcję polski w ALT)
A 1988 Polish translation of "The Golden Pince-Nez":
"Whom can he seek?"
"Whom? Us! He came to see us, Watson! And we, my dear, must take our overcoats, cravats and every other aid that man ever invented to fight the weather. Wait a bit, though! The cab is off again! There's hope yet. If he had wanted us to come, he'd have kept it. Go down, my darling, and open the door, for all virtuous folk have been long in bed"

the way John's growing up with a dad who constantly glorifies himself + exposes John to trauma (physical neglect, graphic videos, etc) + overall treats his son like a walking tape recorder for him to speak into, all so he can control who his son is/will ever be...and the way John has a mom who is reluctant to hold him + is drunk in front of him all the time + generally does what she can to avoid being mentally & emotionally present around her family
the EXCITEMENT i felt when John was literally throwing a ball with another child. A kid who was talking about JOHN! Saying nice things about who John IS!! WOW IMAGINE THAT---
Barry may spend a lot of time with his son but John literally froze in his tracks at the sight of people playing baseball. He knows his father's company but his parents never provide him a mutual back and forth. When he's playing with the kid they both take turns catching and throwing; they're equally important. Where else does John ever get that

"Allure is something that does exist. "Allure holds you...whether its a gaze or a glance in the street or a face in a crowd...it pervades...you are captured by it." Diana Vreeland, Fashion journalist Two vintage photographs by Richard Avedon from the 1950s were the initial inspiration for the Susanne von Meiss Collection. For 25 years now, the Swiss journalist, publicist and entrepreneur has been collecting photography with the special focus on "allure". The Susanne von Meiss Collection representatively covers all genres and styles in the history of photography — from the 1920s through to the present. It includes works by internationally renowned photographers, however for the main part it does not give preference to the iconic photographs but rather to unknown classics. The personal selection ranges from Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Rene Burri and Henri Cartier-Bresson through Horst P. Horst, Irving Penn, Paolo Roversi and August Sander to contemporary artists such as Tracey Emin, Nan Goldin, Daido Moriyama, Richard Prince and Juergen Teller. The collection was presented to the public for the first time at C/O Berlin 28.05. – 04.09.2016
