Dracula — Page 1
How these papers have been placed in sequence will be made manifest in the reading of them.
Wie diese Aufzeichnungen in eine Reihenfolge gebracht wurden, wird sich beim Lesen derselben offenbaren.
All needless matters have been eliminated, so that a history almost at variance with the possibilities of later-day belief may stand forth as simple fact.
Alle unnötigen Dinge wurden weggelassen, damit eine Geschichte, die fast im Widerspruch zu den Möglichkeiten des heutigen Glaubens steht, als einfache Tatsache hervortreten kann.
There is throughout no statement of past things wherein memory may err, for all the records chosen are exactly contemporary, given from the standpoints and within the range of knowledge of those who made them.
Es findet sich durchgehend keine Aussage über vergangene Dinge, bei denen das Gedächtnis irren könnte, denn alle ausgewählten Aufzeichnungen sind genau zeitgenössisch, aus den Standpunkten und innerhalb des Wissensbereichs derer gegeben, die sie verfasst haben.
