La faccia mi abbraccia prima che io opponga qualsiasi forma di resistenza e mi sussurra: «Ti posso raccomandare mio cognato? Ha una voglia pazzesca di lavorare e mille idee geniali. Se lo voti non ti pentirai!». Mi munisco della voce più gentile che abbia e ribatto: «Ti ringrazio del suggerimento, ma ho la lista bloccata... bloccata per il semplice fatto che non voto... ». La faccia fa una una faccia nauseata e come è comparso, così si dilegua, nel nulla.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.
