"I’ve read most of both LeCarré and his son Harkaway. I was sad when LeCarré passed and surprised when Harkaway resurrected the reluctant Smiley. The book gives me a lot of hope for the future of Smiley, Etc. Harkaway might have been the only one with"

"Classic Le Carré. Difficult to put down. Set in the golden age of the Circus, all the old characters are there, resurrected with new life and greater depth breathed into them. The third part of the Mundt trilogy, and the prequel to the Karla trilogy."

“This situation is further complicated when the linguist is confronted with speakers of Romany. The largest minority in Europe have no state of their own, and consequently no formal legal institutions or legal lexicon, although there is a formal rhetoric used before Romany ad hoc tribunals. The language professional must therefore draw on the legal terminology of the official language of the Romany speaker’s country of origin when facilitating interaction between Romany speakers and institutions in the UK.”

“Medicinal rakija can be applied externally or internally for the relief of any ailment, physical or mental, including AIDS. According to Selimović, 'Rakija never did anyone any harm, as long as it’s taken as a medicine and not drunk like water' (it’s also good for cleaning glass and polishing furniture).”
