Terra Nostra

[French,Stephen]

Dear Romeo

I'll think you'll find the Russian translation of ' Terra Nostra' one 
 hell of a better ride,
if you cut out the first and last pages out, the first after the second 
 paragraph third niet and the last page after asimov, second paragraph; 
 to form two "L" shape halves, butt these to neatly together and soak 
 in a light silver iodide solution.  After approximately three weeks of 
 soaking turn off the lights and a secret message is revealed in a 
 strange script ,anyone have any comments on the subject?

Mr. Martinez:

Greetings from the U.S.A.

Have you ever read Fuentes' Terra Nostra in its original Spanish? (if you 
haven't, you'll love it if you like TRP)  I read it for the first time a 
few months back in english and was astounded.  I presume the Spanish 
original is even more so.  By the way, under Franco would've a book like 
Terra Nostra, which fairly depicts the Spanish kings, etc in a rather 
strange light, been censored or appluaded by his regime?
