Juhani Aho citáty

Juhani Aho , vlastním jménem Johannes Brofeldt, literárním jménem Siltanen, Jussi nebo jen zkráceně J.S-n, byl novinář a první finský profesionální spisovatel, ve své době jeden z nejznámějších ve Skandinávii. Specializoval se na krátké příběhy takzvané „hobliny“ . Čerpal z finského folklóru, ale jeho tvorba nebyla provinciální a odrážela v sobě moderní literární hnutí té doby, především realismus. Překládal díla Alexandera Kiellanda, Alphonse Daudeta, Selmy Lagerlöfové, Victora Huga, Maurice Maeterlincka a jiných. Wikipedia

Juhani Aho: Citáty anglicky

“WHEN father bought the lamp, or a little before that, he said to mother:
"Hark ye, mother—ought n't we to buy us a lamp?"
"A lamp? What sort of a lamp?"
"What! Don't you know that the storekeeper who lives in the market town has brought from St. Petersburg lamps that actually burn better than ten päreä? [1] They've already got a lamp of the sort at the parsonage."
"Oh, yes! Is n't it one of those things which shines in the middle of the room so that we can see to read in every corner, just as if it was broad daylight?"
"That's just it. There's oil that burns in it, and you only have to light it of an evening, and it burns on without going out till the next morning."
"But how can the wet oil burn?"”
