Now, what a sad surprise, no books translated in English up to now...
Everything in French, some in Spanish, German, Italian, Greek and the other Scandinavian languages that's all...What a pity!.Even so, i'll must tell you about him...I got some help from the web, translating is sometimes a bit tiring though I love it
