Diana Gabaldon. Traveler. Book 1. Mazes of fate (№ 428515)

Convenience has never been an important part of my life. My parents died when I was five, and I lived with my uncle Lam. He was a renowned archaeologist. We often went on expeditions - what are the amenities there? Of course, it's great to be able to bathe properly in a large tub, or calmly go about your business without straightening the candle. But during the war we had no baths or incandescent lamps. And we cannot say that this makes our life bad. Rather, from another.
