Stand lange auf der Wunschlist: Stefan Heyms Crusaders im amerikanischen Original. Auch wenn er es später ins Deutsche übersetzt hat, ist es spannend, zu lesen, wie sich die Exilautoren in der fremden Sprache zurechtfanden: Da finden sich Stilbrüche, exotische Vokabeln, deutsche Grammatik. #BookSky
