4月15日Passage1

the discovery of the slowness

A John Franklin (1786-1847) was the most famous vanisher of the Victorian era. He joined the Navy as a rmidshipman at the age of 14 and fought in the battles of Copenhagen and

Trafalgar. When peace with the French broke out. he turned his attention to, and in particular to solve the conundrum of the Northwest Passage, the mythical clear-water route which

would, if it existed, link the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans above the northern coast of the American continent. The first expedition Franklin led to the Arctic was an arduous overland

journey from Hudson Bay to the shores of the so-called Polar Ocean east of the Coppermine River. Between 1819 and 1822. Franklin and his twenty-strong team covered 5550 miles on foot, Their expedition was a triumph of surveying - they managed to chart hundreds of miles of previously unknown coasttine.

B There fllowed a career as a travel writer and salon-goer {the man who ate his boots" was Franklin's tag-line), a second long Arctic expedition, and a controversial spell as Governor of

Van Diemen's Land. Then, in May 1845, Franklin set off with two ships - the Erebus and the Terror - and 129 men on the voyage that would kill him. In July, the convoy was seen by two

whalers, entering Lancaster Sound. Nothing more would be heard of it for 14 years. Had the ships sunk or been iced in? Were the men dead, or in need of rescue? Or had they broken

through to the legendary open polar sea, beyond the "ice brrier?

C In his correspondence and his published memoirs. Franklin comes across as a man dedicated to the external duties of war and exploration, who kept introspection and self-analysis to a minimum. His blandness makes him an amenably malleable subject for a novelist, and StenNadolny has taken full advantage of this license. Most important, he has endowed his John Franklin with a defining character tait for which there is no historical evidence: ('slowness', or 'calmness).

D Slowness infuences not only Franklin's behaviour but also his vision, his thought, and his speech. The opening scene of The Discovery of Slowness (The Discovery of Slowness by StenNadolny) - depicts Franklin as a young boy. playing catch badly because his reaction time is too slow. Despite the bullying of his peers, Franklin resolves not to fall into step with

"their way of doing things'. For Nadolny, Franklin's fated fascination with the Arctic stems from his desire to find an environment suited to his peculiar slowness.

E He describes Franklin as a boy dreaming of the 'open water and the time without hours and days' which exist in the far north, and of finding in the Arctic a place where nobody

would find him too slow'. Ice is a slow mover. Ice demands corresponding patience from those who venture onto it. The explorers who have thrived at high latitude and high altitudes

haven't usually been men of great speed. They have tended instead to demonstrate unusual self-posession, a considerable capacity for boredom, and a talent for what the Scots call

'tholing', the uncomplaining endurance of suffering.

F These were all qualties that the historical Franklin possessed in abundance, and so Nadolny's concentration and exaggeration of them isn't unreasonable. Even as an adult, his slowness of thought means that he is unable to speak fluently, s0 he memorizes 'entire fleets of words and batteries of response', and then speaks a languid, bric-a-brac language. In the

Navy, his method of thinking first and acting later itally provokes mockery from his fllow sailors. But Franklin persists in doing things his way, and gradually earns the respect of those

around him. To a commodore who tells him to speed up his report of an engagement, he replies: "When I tell something. sir. | use my own rhythm. A lieutenant says approvingly of

him: 'Because Franklin is so slow, he never loses time.'

G Since it was first published in Germany in 1983. The Discovery of Slowness has sold more than a milin copies and been translated into 13 languages. It has been named as one of

German literature's twenty 'contemporary classics', and it has been as a manual and by European pressure groups and institutions representing causes as diverse as sustainable development, the Protestant Church, management science, motoring policy, and pacifism.

H The various groups that have taken the novel up have one thing in common: a dislike of the high-speed culture of Postmodernity. Nadolny's Franklin appeals to them because he is immune to the compulsion to be constantly occupied', and to the idea that 'someone was better if he could do the same thing fast.' Several German churches have used him in their and focus groups an example of peacefulness, plety, and self-confidence. A centre scheme (a 'march of slowness' or 'of the slow'), inspired by the novel. Nadolny has appeared as a guest speaker for RIOS a Lucerne-based organization which aims to reconcile management principles with ideas of environmental sustanabiliy. The novel has even become involved in the debate about speed limits on German roads.

Drive down an autobahn today, and you will see large road-side signs proclaiming 'unurriedness a slogan that deliberately plays off the title of the novel.
