Norman Davies Zitate

I don't see why a book shouldn't be intellectually sound, entertaining, and fun to read. Historians who write academic history, which is unreadable, are basically wasting their time.

Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum ein Buch nicht intellektuell gesund, unterhaltsam und lesenswert sein sollte. Historiker, die akademische Geschichte schreiben, die nicht lesbar ist, verschwenden grundsätzlich ihre Zeit.

I particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I'd lay my cards down on that, and say that it's that that I'm trying to do.
