Hello, everyone, I'm back*.

I haven't unpacked all my cases yet, however I felt like giving you a first hint at what you missed by not coming to Mantova (Mantua), Italy, for the Festival of Literatura.

Mr. Stroud gave to speeches. I was his interpreter at one of them, about "Treasure Island". You may watch that short event here:

When I have time, I'll tell you more about the events of Mantova.

Regards,

Nick

*Some of you may not have noticed me at all, in this case replace "I'm back" with "here I am" or something else. You choose.

This was incredibly awesome to watch. Thanks for posting this! :)

I personally hope to see him when he comes to the US, but I doubt he would show up in my state. ^^;

I've just realized that people ask questions in Italian at the end. The three questions Jonathan answered are:

1-how many men did you kill to have that hat?
2-why do we all like pirates if pirates were so bad? Why are they fascinating?
3-in what way can a child narrator understand a world of adults or a djinn narrator understand a human world from outside?
