Why does it take so long to send a book from Berlin?! Yesterday I finally received "Toronto at Dreamers Rock" by Drew Hayden Taylor! Is must be a very short story because the book is really thin. I even have an edition with background information on the author and additional texts which is meant for EFL students on secondary level! No wonder because students always have to deal with drama at that time..I still remember acting out "Iphigenie of Tauris" in old bed sheets in my parents garden! But "Toronto At Dreamers Rock" seems a lot more catching. From the cover I learn that it is about three native American boys from different periods of time. So it propably covers cultural and personal aspects. That is good because the identification with the characters helps to access the cultural dimension! I also like the idea of people from different periods of time getting together. I imagine myself meeting someone from the middle ages and someone who lives in the future. There would be so many questions to ask. It would be like history comming to life! When I go through the narrow streets of Lueneburg I sometimes try to imagine the smell of rotten food and barns, the sound of too many people and the hooves of the horses drawning carriages on cobblestone. Talking to a contemporary witness must be an enlightening experience. I don´t really know if I would like to know the future though..this can be very scary! But I might learn what it could be like once I start reading "Toronto at Dreamers Rock."
