We only allowed ourselves three weeks to complete the adventure. I hadn't even heard of half of the countries we were intending to cross and certainly didn't speak the languages but...

Sami posuďte, jaké ohromné věci v zastydlém novoanglickém maloměstě v 50. letech vykonal podměrečný mesiáš Owen Meany.
