[Sergio Luis dos Santos]

The excerpt not mentions binoculars but glasses. Am I wrong?
Anyway when Martin Drewes had his book published in Portuguese here in Brasil, instead of doing just a translation he did a new text. He told me some words, expressions and slangs were impossible to translate so he did all manuscript again in Portuguese.
I can just imagine how confuse a translation may be when done by someone wich do not know what the author is telling... or unable to capture the text´s "atmosphere".
