An old man wearing a brown robe is found wandering disoriented in the Arizona desert. He is miles from any human habitation and has no memory of how he got to be there, or who he is. The only clue to his identity is the plan of a medieval monastery in his pocket. So begins the mystery of „Timeline”, a mystery that will catapult a group of young scientists back to the Middle Ages and into the heart of the Hundred Years' War. Imagine the risks of such a journey. Imagine the impossible.

Hű, én is visszamennék a múltba. Viszont ezt az izgalmas gondolatot nem sikerült annyira jól kidolgozni. Magyarul: http://moly.hu/konyvek/michael-crichton-az-idovonal

Michael Crichton: Timeline

Kíváncsiságból olvastam el. Anno láttam az antikváriumban és mivel úgyis angol nyelvvizsgára készülök, a filmet láttam már, így tudom a fő vonalakat, ezért egy fokkal könnyítettebbnek éreztem a dolgot. Elismerem, nem mindent értettem, főleg a középkori kifejezéseket bizonyos tárgyakra. A történetet szerettem, ahogy anno a filmet is. Bár nem vagyok otthon a középkorban, ilyen mélységekben semmiképp, a részletek kidolgozottsága komoly munkára utalnak az író részéről.
Szerintem érdekes és egy klasszikussal operál: mi történne, ha visszamehetnél és láthatnád a múltat? Izgalmasnak hangzik elsőre, de nem mindig gondolunk bele a lehetséges következményekbe. Emlékeztek arra, amikor valaki megjegyzi, hogy te vagy valaki más nem ebbe a korba való? De ha élhetnék az általunk kedvelt korban, mennyire lennék elveszett? Nem ott nőttem fel, nem ismerem az apró szokásokat, emellett egy romantikus álom és a valóság között általában hatalmas a szakadék.

“So the year 1200 is the beginning of the High Middle Ages — a time of growth, when culture flourished.”
The Americans were skeptical. “If it was so great, why was everybody building more defenses?”
“Because of the Hundred Years War,” Marek said, “which was fought between England and France.”
“What was it, a religious war?”
“No,” Marek said. “Religion had nothing to do with it. Everyone at the time was Catholic.”
“Really? What about the Protestants?”
“There were no Protestants.”
“Where were they?”
Marek said, “They hadn’t invented themselves yet.”
“Really? Then what was the war about?”
“Sovereignty,” Marek said. “It was about the fact that England owned a large part of France.”
One of the men frowned skeptically. “What are you telling me? England used to own France?”
Marek sighed.
:
He had a term for people like this: temporal provincials — people who were ignorant of the past, and proud of it.

Site contamination was extremely serious, and they all knew it. Because it implied sloppy excavation technique, it called into question any other, legitimate discoveries made by the team. A typical instance was a minor scandal at Les Eyzies the year before.
Les Eyzies was a Paleolithic site, a habitation of early man beneath a cliff ledge. The archaeologists had been digging at a level that dated to 320,000 B.P., when one of them found a half-buried condom. It was still in its metallic wrapper, and nobody thought for a moment that it belonged at that level. But the fact that it had been found there — half-buried — suggested that they were not being careful in their technique. It caused a near panic among the team, which persisted even after a graduate student was sent back to Paris in disgrace.
