Bharati Mukherjee Zitate

As a bookish child in Calcutta, I used to thrill to the adventures of bad girls whose pursuit of happiness swept them outside the bounds of social decency. Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina lived large in my imagination. The naughty girls of Hollywood films flirted and knew how to drive.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als Buchkind in Kalkutta habe ich mich immer auf die Abenteuer böser Mädchen gefreut, deren Streben nach Glück sie außerhalb der Grenzen des gesellschaftlichen Anstands beförderte. Tess von den Ubervilles, Emma Bovary und Anna Karenina lebten groß in meiner Vorstellung. Die frechen Mädchen aus Hollywoodfilmen flirteten und wussten, wie man fährt.

From the boys' point of view, scouting puts them into fraternity-gangs, which is their natural organisation, whether for games, mischief, or loafing; it gives them a smart dress and equipments; it appeals to their imagination and romance; and it engages them in an active, open-air life.
