Endnu et k\u00f8b i kategorien “for sp\u00f8js til at lade ligge”: en udgave af Robinson Crusoe skrevet med lutter enstavelsesord. Udgivet 1. januar 1900 af en Mary Godolphin (sk\u00f8nt navn), der ogs\u00e5 har udsat et par andre b\u00f8ger for samme behandling. Hun skriver i forordet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of a book which is adapted to the use of the youngest readers needs but few words of excuse or apology. The nature of the work seems to be sufficiently explained by the title itself, and the author’s task has been chiefly to reduce the ordinary language into words of one syllable. But although, as far as the subject matter is concerned, the book can lay no claims to originality, it is believed that the idea and scope of its construction are entirely novel, for the One Syllable literature of the present day furnishes little more than a few short, unconnected sentences, and those chiefly in spelling books.<\/em>
\n        The deep interest which De Foe’s story has never failed to arouse in the minds of the young, induces the author to hope that it may be acceptable in its present form.<\/em>
\n        It should be stated that the exceptions to the rule of using words of one syllable exclusively have been made in the case of the proper names of the boy Xury and of the man Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det sidste skuffer mig lidt. Det ville da have v\u00e6ret oplagt at kalde omd\u00f8be Robinsons f\u00f8lgesvend til “Fifth Day of the Week” (eller faktisk “Sixth Day of the Week”; Robinson h\u00f8rer til dem der t\u00e6ller s\u00f8ndag som f\u00f8rste dag). Og bogen kunne s\u00e5 passende have v\u00e6ret betitlet The Man Who Was Stuck on an Isle for Quite a Long Time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det er i \u00f8vrigt ikke f\u00f8rste gang jeg er st\u00f8dt p\u00e5 enstavelsesords-disciplinen. Douglas Hofstadters sprudlende murstensv\u00e6rk Le Ton Beau de Marot <\/em>(som jeg m\u00e5 skrive om p\u00e5 et tidspunkt) omhandler skriveri under alle t\u00e6nkelige restriktioner, og s\u00e5ledes ogs\u00e5 denne. Hofstadter p\u00e5tager sig endda den temmelig \u00e6refrygtindgydende opgave at redeg\u00f8re for Einsteins relativitetsteori p\u00e5 den m\u00e5de – jeg husker noget i retning af “… and four score or so years on from that time all had been found to be true by folks whose job it is to stare at the night sky’s lights”. Godolphin benytter sig af samme trick mht tidsangivelse; hendes bog slutter s\u00e5ledes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now I must bring this tale of my life to a close; while at the age of three score years and twelve, I feel that the day is at hand when I must pray to go forth on that sea of peace and love, which has no waves or shores but those of bliss which knows no end.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
