A final word about the Translation of Richard Vollmer : if it is almost superfluous to point out the care and the scruple that he has put there, as always, by showing himself at the same time Master of the Language and Enemy of the in-Peu-Près to reach a clarity copy, however, I would not want to miss this opportunity to rent his unalterable respect for the language and magic and the concern that he has always shown the dignity of these two professions. Strong Magic is pleasant to read and leave you perplexed but animated by a desire to do better, to do differently.
