Da es Folge 16, "The Osidian Chamber", bisher nur auf englisch gibt, dachte ich mir: Beste Gelegenheit, das Original zu testen. Das Ergebnis: Großartig!
Die Story: Endlich wieder the true Pendergast-Spirit! Intelligent gewobene Handlung. Voller Scharaden, Mystik, Falltüren, überraschender Wendungen und psychologischer Tiefe.
Proctor, Pendergasts Bodyguard, bekommt eine Hauptrolle. Constance Green, bisher die ätherische Wandlerin zwischen den Welten, entpuppt sich als leidenschaftlich liebende Frau. Und ein altbekannter Unhold erscheint. Dabei enthüllt er unerwartet, das sein als pathologisch sadistisch und notorisch böse geltender Charakter eine sehr weiche, verletzliche Seite hat.
Der Erzähler: Schlägt die deutschen Kollegen um Längen. Rene Auberjonois,
US-Schauspieler (z.B. "Odo" in Star Trek), schwelgt geradezu in den genußvoll eingesetzten Alliterationen des englischen Textes. Zum ersten Mal wurde mir durch seine Interpretation klar, wie gekonnt Preston&Child den elaborierten Oxford-Stil anwenden, um damit die intellektuelle, distinguiert-distanzierte Persönlichkeit Pendergasts literarisch zu formen . Eine Offenbarung gegenüber der deutschen Übersetzung!
The Finish: Tiefsinnig, auch wenn der halbe Schauplatz krachend in die Luft fliegt. "To truly understand this, you have to be a Pendergast…" sagt der FBI-Special Agent.
To be a Pendergast – dieses Gefühl erschließt sich nur durch das Original. Truly!
The true Pendergast Spirit!
