yesterday, while reading a book I stumbled once again on a topic I always do appreciate if I come across it. I'm talking about binoculars in literature. This was not the first time it happend but unfortunately I forgot most of the other occasions before
. In order that these occurences of binoculars in literature don't slip the mind anymore I thought it could be a good idea to give the references a record here. Everybody is welcome to enhance this short collection whenever possible, no matter which language or nationality of the text. I could also imagine a list like this for binoculars in cinema. But let's start here first. Steve
I would suggest an entry in the list in this order, as far as possible.
author | year | title | page | type of binocular | quotation
Pynchon, Thomas (2009). Inherent Vice. p. 90. "WWII field glass".
"Sauncho (! and not Sancho BTW...) had a pair of ancient WWII field glasses on a strap around his neck. He took them off and handed them to Doc."
Schmidt, Arno (1992). Zettels Traum. p. 6. Zeiss Dialyt 8 x 30 B.
