And as such, it has the answer in the post itself. That is, the only solution for this very sad and typical situation is that one does his job day by day, and thus by a heroic effort and in solitude arrives ad astra.<BR/><BR/>Think about that in those times Csoma was certainly asked as well - I cannot imagine that some Marczell-like főmufti in Enyed or in other centers missed this ziccer - on which basis he imagines himself apt for such a travel. Most probably he also replied something like he too regards those people his far away relatives. And now we are producing webpages on him, albeit especially in this question he was quite wrong.<BR/><BR/>And think about the other great Hungarian discoverer, Aurél Stein as well, whose webpage we have recently prepared with the Academy at stein.mtak.hu . In all his youth he was longing for a teaching position in the high school of Cluj. He never managed to get one. The great discoveries, the world fame, the title of Sir, the British Museum, the many volumes published in Oxford, these yes, but a teaching position in the high school of Cluj is not given just to anyone.Studiolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377777909296284368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-67058540717426976802008-01-06T13:34:00.000+01:002008-01-06T13:34:00.000+01:00Thank you. This was quite a big surprise. Sometime...Thank you. This was quite a big surprise. Sometimes I have the feeling that my texts (the journal I wrote while traveling in the footsteps of Csoma, but not only) would find much more readers than in Hungarian. This might not be true, however, sometimes I feel it. <BR/><BR/>(the MTAK-site is not on the "fourth place" on the list.. things there are in alphabetical order, that s all.) So far the MTAK site is the ever best site about Csoma - let s see what will I manage to create wt yun.ro (it will change completely by the end of this month) - the blogging-side of this project is somehow a melléktermék only. <BR/><BR/>Think of it: the Romanian NatGeo is interested in my story, the Hungarian one not at all. I have sent the same letter to the chief editors of both of them - same text. One before leaving for India and one after returning to Romania. The .ro version replied in a few hours - the .hu version replied only the second time - it was an outofoffice-Iamonholidays-automaticreply, nothing more. :)<BR/><BR/>And this is only one of this tüköráltalhomályosan stories. <BR/><BR/>A háromszéki KCsSEgyesület is teljes apátiával áll hozzá a projekthez. Mösziő Marczell pl. egyenesen azt kérdezte tőlem, még tavasszal, hogy milyen alapon képzelem magam alkalmasnak egy ilyen utazásra.<BR/><BR/>Hát, mert távoli rokonomnak tartom Csomát. Azért. :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
