Joe Golem Sıçan Avcısı 2

Bir dedektif hikayesi gibi dursa da bu bir gizem hikayesi. Ben çizgilerini ve atmosferini beğendiğim için çevirmiştim. Çevireli de epey bir zaman oldu. Kapak çizimleri de bir dönemim Mike Hamer gibi dedektif romanlarındaki kapak çizimlerine benziyor ve bence çok hoş renklendirmeleri var.

Kısaca Joe Golem'den bahsedersek: Joe Golem  New York şehrinden gizemli olaylarla ilgilenen bir dedektif gibi görünse de aslında dedektif değildir. Sürprizbozan olmasın diye daha fazla ayrıntıya girmiyorum. Bu seriden başka çevirilerim de oldu ama diğer ciltleri ne zaman yayınlarım bilmiyorum. Bu ciltte de zaten ufak ufak geri plan bilgileri veriliyor. Seversiniz diye bekliyorum.

The Lost Princess of Brazil: Maria de Orleans e Bragança

Pedro Henrique and Maria Elisabeth

Among royal genealogy enthusiasts, Prince Pedro Henrique of Orleans-Bragança and Princess Maria Elisabeth of Bavaria are well-known for the large family they produced. The couple married in 1937. Between the years 1938 and 1959, Pedro Henrique and Maria Elisabeth welcomed thirteen children, including one set of twins.

However, it was only last year that the existence of the thirteenth child, a daughter, was discovered. On 28 September 1946, Princess Maria of Orleans-Bragança was born at Rio de Janeiro. Maria was her parents' sixth child and second daughter. Sadly, Maria died the day she was born, after living only ten hours. The princess was born prematurely as a result of placenta praevia, which resulted in her death. Maria was buried at the Cemitério São João Baptista in Rio. She was the second of her parents' offspring to be born in Brazil.

The discovery of Maria's existence was made by Samuel Duarte Cavalcante Filho, which he then kindly shared with other genealogists. Dino Sobral then provided the information on a forum devoted to royal and noble genealogy. Thank you very much to both Samuel and Dino for bringing this to light.
