Source text - English OUTSIDE TIME
In his 1954 book entitled The Golden Honeycomb, acclaimed British writer Vincent Cronin wrote these words: “Sicily is an island lying outside time, where past events endure in an eternal present, a beach on which the tides of successive civilizations have heaped in disorder their assorted treasures.”
Yes, Sicily lies outside time. Very few other places in the world are as ageless and supernatural. As beautiful and entrancing. For thousands of years, Europe and Africa, East and West have converged, merged and crossed swords on the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Vandals and Normans, just to name a few, all threaded their way through Scylla and Charybdis to reach the Sicilian shores and coalesce in this extraordinary garden of delights.
Translation - German VON DER ZEIT VERGESSEN
Der berühmte britische Schriftsteller Vincent Cronin beschrieb Sizilien in seinem Buch Die goldene Wabe Sizilien aus dem Jahre 1954 als eine von der Zeit vergessene Insel, auf der vergangene Ereignisse für immer und ewig bis in die Gegenwart hinein fortbestehen, wie ein Strand auf dem die Wellen nacheinander angespülter Zivilisationen ihre verschiedenartigsten Schätze hinterließen.
Ja, Sizilien wurde von der Zeit vergessen. Nur wenige Orte auf der Welt empfindet man so zeitlos und übernatürlich. So wunderschön und bezaubernd. Über Jahrtausende trafen Europa und Afrika, Osten und Westen auf der größten Mittelmeerinsel aufeinander, Kulturen vereinten sich und kreuzten Schwerter. Phönizier, Griechen, Römer, Karthager, Vandalen und Normannen, um nur einige zu nennen, wählten zwischen Skylla und Charybdis, um die Küste Siziliens zu erreichen, wo sich ihre Kulturen zu einem außergewöhnlichen Garten Eden verschmolzen.
