Όπως και να έχει μπράβο στη Σπυράκη που ήταν η μόνη του epp που καταψήφισε για να μην εξισωθεί φασισμός κομμουνισμός.
Βεβαιως μπραβο,δεν μπορουν να εξισωθουν αυτα τα δυο.
o Xότζα εντωμεταξύ ήταν αρκετά μορφωμένο άτομο, με γνώσεις μέχρι και περί αιγυπτιολογίας και μουμιών. Από τα απομνημονεύματά του:
We went in [the Metternich museum in Prague] and looked at everything. The competent guide gave us full explanations. I recall that I went into Metternich’s library, full of beautifully bound books. When we came out of the library, we passed a closed door and the guide told us
“In here there is a mummy which was sent as a gift from Egypt to the Chancellor of Austria, the assassin of Napoleon’s exiled son, the King of Rome.”
“Open it up,” I said, “let us see this mummy, because I am very interested in Egyptology and have read many books about it, especially about the findings of the scientist Carter, Carnarvon’s associate, who discovered the undamaged tomb of Tutankhamen.”
“No,” said the guide, “I won’t open that door.”
“Why?” I asked surprised.
“Because some misfortune might befall me, I might die.”
The Czech comrades laughed at him and said:
“What are you telling us, come on, open it up!”
The guide stuck to his guns and finally said:
“Here, take the key, open the door yourselves and have a look. I am not going inside and I won’t take any responsibility.”
The Czech comrade escorting me opened the door, we turned on the lights and saw the mummy, completely black in a wooden sarcophagus. We closed the door, gave the key back to the guide, shook hands with him, thanked him, and left.
On our way out, the Czech comrade said to me:
“There are still superstitious people who believe in magic like that guide we saw.”
“No,” I said, “the guide is a man of learning, and not superstitious. The books on Egyptology say that nearly all the scientists who have discovered the mummies of Pharaohs have died in some mysterious way. There are many theories which say that the ancient Egyptian priests who lived about three thousand years before our era, were great scientists and to protect the mummies from robbers lined the walls with rock that contained uranium. It is said that in the sarcophagus chamber they burned plants which released powerful poisons. It has been proved that the structure of the pyramids is a rare miracle from the geometrical aspect in which sometimes the apex of the pyramid, like that of Cheops, coincides with a given star, or as occurs in the Valley of the Kings, in stated years, at a given hour of the day the rays of the sun entered into the depths of the corridor and lit up the forehead of the statue of the Pharaoh.”
My Czech escort, Pavel he was called, who was a good, kindly, modest chap, changed his opinion about the guide, and was interested to know more.
άσε που είχε διαβάσει Σίλερ και ήξερε ποιος ήταν ο Βαλλενστάιν:
I have always taken an interest in the history of nations and peoples. There are many historic places in Czechoslovakia. I visited the place where the Taborite uprising took place and saw those characteristic villages through which Zizka had passed and in which he fought. I visited Austerlitz and from the museum hill I looked over the battlefield and imagined Bonaparte’s historic manoeuvre and the sudden appearance of his troops on the Austrian flanks, precisely at the time the sun was rising over Austerlitz. I remembered the battles of Wallenstein and Schiller’s famous trilogy. I asked the Czech comrades:
“Is there any museum about this historic personality?
“Of course,” they said, and took me immediately to a palace, which was the Wallenstein Museum.
βρες μου εσύ άλλον Αλβανό που να ξέρει τον Βαλλενστάιν και ψηφίζω Τζήμερο.
