For\u00a0en tid tilbake leste jeg Robert\u00a0Heinleins tidsreiseklassiker, “The Door into Summer”<\/a>. Som det meste Heinlein skrev er denne boka lettlest og spennende, med fremtidsskildringer som er fjerne fra den virkelige fremtiden (n\u00e5 v\u00e5r fortid – mye av handlingen<\/a> er lagt rundt 2000) men likevel s\u00e5 kreative at det blir god underholdning av det.
\nEt stort ekstra pluss for meg f\u00e5r boka for \u00e5 ha en katt, Petronius eller Pete, i en sentral rolle. Det er ogs\u00e5 denne katten som gir boka dens tittel og gjennomgangstema, som introduseres p\u00e5 romanens f\u00f8rste side.

Ada ved sommerd\u00f8ra. (c) Elisabeth Bjone<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Jeg kjenner s\u00e5 godt igjen atferden som beskrives nedenfor fra v\u00e5re egne katter (ikke minst Ada), som i kuldeperioder som den vi g\u00e5r gjennom n\u00e5 gj\u00f8r akkurat som Pete. Det vil si at pus l\u00f8per bort til d\u00f8ra og ber meg \u00e5pne den om og om igjen, tydeligvis i h\u00e5p om at denne gangen<\/em>\u00a0kommer det til \u00e5 v\u00e6re sommer p\u00e5\u00a0den andre siden. Ada blir like skuffet hver gang selvsagt, men hun gir seg aldri. Hun vet jo at \u00e9n gang blir det sommer utenfor d\u00f8ra igjen. Det er, som Heinlein viser i “The Door into Summer”, mye \u00e5 l\u00e6re av det.<\/p>\n

“While still a kitten, all fluff and buzzes, Pete had worked out a simple philosophy. I was in charge of quarters, rations and weather; he was in charge of everything else. But he held me especially responsible for weather. Connecticut winters are good only for Christmas cards, regularly that winter Pete would check his own door, refuse to go out it because of that unpleasant white stuff beyond it (he was no fool), then badger me to open a people door.
\nHe had a fixed conviction that at least one of them must lead into summer weather. Each time this meant that I had to go around with him to each of eleven doors, hold it open while he satisified himself that it was winter out that way, too, the go on to the next door, while his criticisms of my mismanagment grew more bitter with each disappointment.
\nThen he would stay indoors until hydraulic pressure utterly forced him outside. When he returned the ice in his pads would sound like little clogs on the wooden flooor and he would glare at me and refuse to purr until he had chewed it all out… whereupon he would forgive me until the next time.
\nBut he never gave up his search for the Door into Summer<\/a>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bare rolig, Ada. Sommeren kommer, den.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
