Obviously they have vegetables, because in Dragonflight there were some served to Fax. Obviously too, though, there can't be vegetation of any kind--even weeds--near people, because of Thread. Do farmers just grow their crops in an area separated from residences?

I mean Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) whose "Collected Fictions" (tr. by Andrew Hurley) I'm going to compare to his "Ficciones" (tr. by Anthony Kerringan, et al.). In the meantime I'm reading his biography in the Wikipedia web site.

I bought this as a gift for someone without really knowing much about it. What are your opinions on it? Would you think that an older (early 50's) woman with a great sense of humor would enjoy it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there something that you fear? If so, why do you fear it? Was it something that happened? Or, just a fear that has always been there.

I don't want texts focused around the political/military exploits of Hitler and his top brass.
I only want interesting glimpses into the society / lives of the common people in Nazi Germany--The rich, middle class, and poor.

Example: Recently I heard on NPR how German homeowners must suffer yearly chimney sweeps by a government regulated/monopoly Chimney Sweep company. Since the chimney cleanings are required, and the gov't doesn't allow competition, it is expensive and the service is less than par.
What was interesting is that the chimney sweepings date back to Nazi Germany, when Nazi politicians passed laws to require all homes to receive chimney cleanings every year in the name of fire safety. The real intent was to create a means for every home in the country to receive inspections by a chimney sweeper who was a Nazi supporter/spy, at regular intervals (make sure your not hiding jews, etc).

So stuff like this, and other basic day-to-day living during Nazi Germany is what I want

This might be a difficult question to answer, not even my friends can answer them. Well, I know how odyssey is pronounced, but let's say I had to explain why it is pronounced as it is to a ESL student, how would I do that?

the 'o' is odyssey is pronounced as 'awe' and the 'd' is easy to explain, but HOW do I explain to 'y' and that it is not pronounced as 'why' but 'eh' (or something) as in 'did'?

And in 'Iliad' I can easily explain that the first 'i' is pronounced as 'ih' and not 'ai' when not followed by an 'e'. But how can explain the sencond 'i'? It sounds like an 'e'?
