she felt that that unbending and dangerous man belonged to her now, soul and body, like a slave (Jeremiah Curtin translation)

“Jurij Finkel (translator), La Horo de Bovo (Час Быка / The Bull’s Hour) by Ivan Yefremov, Chapter 7, Kiom da trompoj ankoraŭ atendas ĉi tie, precipe inter homoj, tute similaj al la teraj kaj tiom malsamaj anime!”

How many misapprehensions were still in store here, especially among people [who] looked just like Terrans but whose minds were so unlike theirs (lit. so different mentally)!

“István Nemere, “Tunelo helnigra,” review of La tunelo by Marco Picasso, in Literatura Foiro 176, December 1998, Certe estas tiaj situacioj en la vivo de ni ĉiuj. Kaj en la romano mi trovis lokojn, kie mi ekkriis anime: “Jen, tion ankaŭ mi verkus samtiel!””

There are certainly situations like that in all of our lives. And in the novel I found places, where in my head I would exclaim: “That’s just how I would have written it, too!”
