What's more, he's sure that the highwayman is right under their noses—and that exposing their identity will end not only his story, but ruin his family, too. But this was the sense, not forgotten either then or later: that precisely because the Lager was a great machine to reduce us to beasts, we must not become beasts; that even in this place one can survive, and therefore one must want to survive, to tell the story, to bear witness; and that to survive we must force ourselves to save at least the skeleton, the scaffolding, the form of civilization. I wrote him an almost insolent letter: I warned him not to remove or change a single word in the text, and I insisted that he send me the manuscript of the translation in batches .

Everything that Livy has stood up for during her guarded solitary life risks being destroyed by this nasty and well groomed man. At last I found the paperback, tried reading each episode under each title and switched to the hardcover I bought last week. It was not, admittedly, always exactly the same word, but it was certainly an articulated word; or better, several slightly different articulated words, experimental variations on a theme, on a root, perhaps on a name. As a reader you will be numbed reading his hellish experience and the systematic degradation human beings were subjected to.He looked about three years old, no one knew anything of him, he could not speak and he had no name; that curious name, Hurbinek, had been given to him by us, perhaps by one of the women who had interpreted with those syllables one of the inarticulate sounds that the baby let out now and again. It is not possible to sink lower than this; no human condition is more miserable than this, nor could it conceivably be so. Wickedly handsome and incredibly dangerous, he is the type of guy that Hannah needs to run away from. And when the new Duke of Chester moves into his family’s long-abandoned home across the square, her journalistic instincts immediately kick in.
