David Leavitt's 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' focuses more on the sensationalist side than the amazing brain work, but isn't actually that good a book, sadly.<br /><br />Charles: Yes, a sad omission from the cover. But it is the Leigh Fermor translation, and it does contain his introduction.<br /><br />Okbo Lover: Couldn't agree with you more!JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-67025498341534455382009-08-06T09:11:35.538-07:002009-08-06T09:11:35.538-07:00ahhh WWII stuff!!!

Your reference to him eating poisoned apple and being obsessed with the Snow White story has distracted me from the rest of the post!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.com
