Madrid, 17 oct (PL) Le prix Nobel de Litt�rature Jos� Samarago a d�clar�
que l�actuelle crise mondiale constitue un crime contre l�humanit� et
doit �tre analys�e comme telle � dans les d�bats publics ou dans les
consciences �Jose
Saramago
approximate translation: The nobel Prize Jose Saramago has declared that the actual world crisis is a crime against humanity and must be analyzed as such in public debates and consciences.
"I can �t imagine myself outside any kind of social or
political involvement.
" Jose
Saramago
edit You are right my dear Almaz!! Thanks for correcting me!!
Sad to hear of Saramago �s death. I read one of his books some years ago (in English - it was set during the Spanish Civil War - can �t remember the title) - it was hard-going at first, as I recall, but worth sticking with. I actually remember him more for his involvement in certain causes which I sympathised with at the time.
Mariethe, love the quote but I would suggest that he stated that the current global crisis is a crime against humanity and should be analyzed as such "in public debates or according to individual conscience" - but I �m open to criticism (I haven �t done any real translation work in years...).
