Waiting for the Dark, Waiting for the Light

TRANSLATOR'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank Ivan Klíma for his trust and willingness to help clarify some of the inevitable ambiguities in the text; and Ursula Doyle for her sensitive reading and editing of the translation.

My deepest gratitude goes to Patricia Grant who, with her assistance, suggestions, enthusiasm and good humour, made it possible to finish the translation on schedule.
