I don\u2019t know why they are taking so long to arrive: sometimes they take 8 days. Yours, Elisa, with great news about Geneva, which I already knew because it had come out in the Embassy newsletter &#8211; congratulations! congratulations! congratulations! And with it came a clipping from Raquel de Queiroz. Your letter, Tania, gives good news from everyone, and the possibility of a good tenant \u2013 how did it turn out?<br><br>Today I received the telegram giving the ticket price. I\u2019ll explain why I sent the question. We travel with Aerovias, which gives us a discount, but several people started saying that it was cheaper with Panamerican, if we pay in Brazil (with the fixed price of the ticket, but not a fixed dollar value, it would be very cheap). Each person said something different, and the man at Aerovias was waiting, and I was already annoyed with a thousand calculations. And the thing was getting urgent; so, the only thing was to know how much the ticket would be in <em>cruzeiros<\/em>. It was great that I asked because, despite the work it gave me, we found out that, even paid in Brazil and even with the favorable exchange rate, it\u2019s still cheaper with Aerovias. We wanted to avoid Aerovias because of the connection in Miami and consequently the discomfort with two children. But we\u2019ll go that way anyway, because it\u2019s a good discount. So, tomorrow the money goes to Miami and we\u2019ll have the tickets with us, and the problem, God willing, will be resolved.<br><br>Paulinho\u2019s food has proceeded, as I already told you, by way of a gentleman. I\u2019ll send his number soon, so one of you can call and ask him if he\u2019s already cleared his luggage and if he\u2019s already got the two boxes at home. So you, please, let me know immediately, so I can rest easy on this point, and know that the man didn\u2019t lose his crates or anything of value. In no way do I want to change Paulinho\u2019s diet in those two months in Rio.<br><br>I\u2019m writing this letter to you, Elisa, without knowing at all whether you already departed for Geneva. I will send it to the Marqu\u00eas de Abrantes address.<br><br>I\u2019m very behind in my correspondence with you both because I\u2019ve been very busy. I received the proofs of P.C.S. (<em>Perto do cora\u00e7\u00e3o selvagem <\/em>was translated by E. Plon, in 1954.), already on a certain type of paper that \u00c9rico recognized as the definitive paper: that is to say, my corrections must have gone out too late. And there were so many corrections that they would have had to redo the pagination, etc. etc. If they arrived too late, it\u2019s better I forget about it, if I don\u2019t want it to make me seriously upset. Upon \u00c9rico\u2019s advice, I sent a letter saying the \u201ctranslation was scandalously bad\u201d etc., that I would rather the book never be published in France than to come out as it is, without corrections. I sent examples of the translation errors. This work took me about ten days, working often until two-something in the morning, as I was even forced to write in French. To give you an idea of the translation, here are some examples: in Portuguese, \u201cafter a few moments, the flames suddenly revived,\u201d was translated as: \u201cafter a few moments, everything that called her, awoke\u201d (certainly the translator, seeing \u201cchamas\u201d thought it was from the verb to call). Where I put: \u201cthe father was disheveled,\u201d the translator put: \u201cthe father was out of breath.\u201d Where I put: \u201cshe was afraid to continue beside so-and-so,\u201d the translator put: \u201cshe was disgusted to be\u201d etc. I wrote in the original: \u201cI became dizzy, she said.\u201d The translator translated: \u201cI became stupid, she said.\u201d (The translator must know Spanish better and \u201ctonto\u201d in Spanish means more or less stupid). I wrote: with the dark circles around her eyes&#8230; She translated: with her sunglasses&#8230; The book is all like that, and in many places it totally loses its meaning. One night, at midnight more or less, I was trying to read and correct, when I came across a rather crude translation, so strong, so unexpected that, even alone, I laughed to the point of crying. Imagine that I wrote, at a bad moment, in the original: \u201cthe mouth in the shape of a tut-tut.\u201d And you know how she, all funny, translated it: So: \u201cla bouche en cul-de-poule\u201d. How about that? When I write the word \u201ccrap,\u201d she translates it as \u201cexcrement,\u201d even when that\u2019s not the case. Not to mention the funny liberties she took. I write \u201cthe maid\u201d and she translates: \u201cthe black maid\u201d \u2013 and in no part of the book is there mention of any black servant. Anyway, I\u2019m trying to get over this annoyance and forget it. It looks like it\u2019s too late, that I can\u2019t do anything. So I will try to forget that the book was translated.<br><br>I keep asking you to place your orders now \u2013 why don\u2019t you respond?<br><br>Everything\u2019s fine here, Paulinho is excellent but only utters unintelligible phrases, I\u2019m already very impatient. Pedrinho is fine, probably very soon he will stop going to the \u201cChild Center.\u201d Maury feels great about the no-fried-foods diet. They really say everyone should eat like this. All the better, the trip is not that far away anymore.<br><br>A kiss for you both.<br>Clarice<br><br><em>Tania, did you already receive the Department of Labour brochures? <br><br> Tania, what can I bring for William?\u00a0<\/em><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6102,"parent":6511,"menu_order":43,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6480","acervo","type-acervo","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>067496 - Clarice Lispector<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/acervo\/letters\/067496-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"067496 - Clarice Lispector\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Washington, May 10, 1954, Monday My darlings, I have a letter from May 2 to answer, yours, Elisa, and another from May 3, yours, Tania.
