For several
months, I didn’t publish anything in the English version of my blog. To tell
the truth, I was hardly mobilized by the situation in the Middle East, with the
war against Hamas in Gaza. Most articles which I published in July and August
on the French blog were devoted to this topic, mainly in relation to the way the
events were presented in Europe; that is why I did not feel useful to translate
them for a predominantly non-European audience.
In
September, I published three texts consisting, essentially, in long quotations
from books published in French... For them too, I sensed it difficult to
translate into English without betraying the authors nor lose the flavor of the
original.
I hope not to
wait too long before feeding again "a heedful idiot". Meanwhile, I
notice a very curious thing: For several months, the number of visits to the French
version of the blog coming from the United States is steadily increasing and
reaches almost half of the total...
