I kekahi manawa i ka makahiki 1990, ua hoʻomaka ke kani o ka huakaʻi e loli.ʻO nā hoʻololi mua i hele mai me nā mea i ʻike ʻia: i ka wā i hoʻololi ai kahi ʻenekini mokumahu uwē i kahi huila kaʻa kani (a i ʻole ka peʻa peʻa);ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka wiliwili ʻana.Akā ʻoi aku ka democratic a pālahalaha kēia hoʻololi hou.Hiki ke lohe ʻia ma nā wahi a pau - ma nā ala ʻalaʻala a me kahi e ʻākoakoa pinepine ai ka poʻe huakaʻi: ma nā kahua kaʻaahi, ma nā lobby hotel, ma nā mokulele.Lohe au ma ke alanui kokoke i ko mākou hale i ka hapa nui o ke ao a me ka pō, akā ʻoi aku paha i ke kakahiaka nui ke hele nā ​​kānaka i nā huakaʻi lōʻihi."Braddle, delirium, delirium, delirium, delirium, delirium," i wehewehe ʻia e nā keiki Impressionist.Inā mākou i lohe i kēia kani i 30 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua noʻonoʻo paha mākou i ke ala ʻana o ka mea holo kaʻa i ka wanaʻao e hoʻomaʻamaʻa.I kēia manawa ʻo ia paha: he loio me nā wigs a me nā pepa kānāwai, he ʻohana e hele ana me nā ukana no ʻelua pule ma Algarve.ʻO ka māmā a kaumaha paha, nui a liʻiliʻi paha, ʻo kekahi pahu ʻeke e paʻi ma kahi māwae ma ke ala ala e hele ai i ke kaʻa kaʻa a i ʻole ke kaʻaahi.
He aha ke ʻano o ke ola ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā huila?E like me nā poʻe he nui o kona hanauna, ua ʻaʻahu koʻu makuakāne i kā mākou pahu pahu ma kona poʻohiwi hema.Ua like kona maalea me he luina la, me he mea la e hiki ai i ka pahu kaumaha ke kaumaha ma mua o ke kao, oiai nae, i mea e lealea ai i ke kamailio ana, e hele mau kekahi ma kona akau;Ma mua o ka hiki ʻana iā ia ke pane aku i ke aloha ʻole ʻia mai ka ʻaoʻao hema mai, ua huli mālie ʻo ia ma ia ʻaoʻao me ka noʻonoʻo, me he lio lā i pani ʻia nā maka.ʻAʻole au i ʻike i ke ʻano o ka lawe ʻana ma luna o koʻu poʻohiwi a noʻonoʻo wau inā he mau lima kā nā ʻeke, a laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia, ʻoiai ʻo ke kumu maoli ʻaʻole i lawa koʻu ikaika.Hiki i koʻu makuakāne ke hele lōʻihi me nā ukana ma kona kua.I kekahi kakahiaka Sabati, i ka wa e hoi ana ko'u kaikunane i ka RAF mai ka haalele ohana, hoomanao au i ka hookele ana ia ia i elua mile iluna o na puu a hiki i ke kahua i ka wa i loaa ole ai ke kaa e ae;Hāpai koʻu makuakāne i ka ʻeke ʻeke a kāna keiki ma luna o kona poʻohiwi.Ua like ia me ka ʻeke ʻeke a ka papa himeni i mele ai ma ke mele ʻo "Jolly Wanderer", ʻo ia ka mea he ʻumi kiʻekiʻe loa i kēlā manawa.
Makemake nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i nā ʻenehana ʻē aʻe.Hōʻike nā kiʻi alanui i nā kamaliʻi i loko o nā noho pahu e hoʻopiha ana i nā ʻeke hoʻomaha, ʻoiai nā noho pahu māmā e waiho ana ma nā lima o ko lākou makuahine.Manaʻo wau ua noʻonoʻo koʻu mau mākua i kēia ʻano he "maʻamau," ma muli paha o ka hana ʻana o nā ʻohana e holo ana i ka uku hoʻolimalima i kekahi manawa penei ("Moonlight").ʻOiai,ʻo ke kālā ka mea a pau.ʻOiai inā he liʻiliʻi kāu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokahe i nā kaʻa kaʻa a me nā mea lawe puka a i ʻole e lawe i kāu mau ʻeke i mua ma ke kaʻaahi - ma ka liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka makahiki 1970, loaʻa mau i nā poʻe hoʻomaha kahakai Clyde a me nā haumāna Oxford i nā makahiki 1960.ʻO ia ʻoluʻolu.Me he mea lā ʻo Waugh a i ʻole Wodehouse ka hana, akā ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i ka haʻi ʻia ʻana o kekahi hoa kula e kona makuahine makemake nui, "E hāʻawi i ka mea lawe puka i kahi silina a e hoʻokomo ʻo ia iā ʻoe a me kāu mau pahu ma ke kaʻaahi ma North Berwick."ʻO ka noho ʻana o ka pahu huila ʻole e hilinaʻi ʻia i kahi papa haʻahaʻa o nā kauā, a hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia mau mea hoʻoluʻu lole ʻulaʻula ma nā kahua kaʻaahi India e hoʻopaʻa akamai i kāu mau ukana ma ko lākou mau poʻo.ike hou.
Akā me he mea lā ʻaʻole nā ​​huila e hoʻokomo i nā koina hana, akā ʻo nā mamao pālahalaha nui o nā mokulele.Pono hou ka noiʻi;i loko o ka mōʻaukala o kela la i keia mea, eke i ole i ka pae o ka haʻawina i Henry Petroski hana no penikala ole Radcliffe Salaman no ka uala Academic pae, a, e like me na mea a pau i hana, oi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi kanaka plausibly koi i ka mahalo.Ua ʻike ʻia nā mea huila e pili ana i nā ʻeke i ka makahiki 1960, akā ʻaʻole i ka makahiki 1970 i loaʻa ai ka epiphany ʻo Bernard D. Sadow, hope pelekikena o kahi hui hana ukana ma Massachusetts.E hali ana i ʻelua mau ʻeke kaumaha ma kona kua ma hope o ka hoʻomaha ʻana ma Caribbean, ua ʻike ʻo ia ma ka dute i ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana o kekahi limahana mokulele i nā mea koʻikoʻi ma luna o kahi papa huila me ka ʻole o ka hana.Wahi a kahi hōʻike a New York Times na Joe Sharkley he 40 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua haʻi ʻo Sadow i kāna wahine, "Ua ʻike ʻoe, ʻo ka ʻeke kēia a mākou e pono ai," a i kona hoʻi ʻana i ka hana, ua huki ʻo ia i nā kāmaʻa holo kaʻa mai ke kumu o kahi keʻena. .a hoʻokomo iā lākou i loko o kahi pahu nui me kahi kaula huki i mua.
Ke hana nei - maikaʻi, no ke aha?– ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ka hana hou a Sadow ma ke ʻano he US Patent #3,653,474: "Rolling Baggage", ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻo ia ka huakaʻi ea."Ua mālama ʻia nā ʻeke e nā mea lawe ukana a hoʻouka ʻia a hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma nā wahi ʻoluʻolu o ke alanui, ʻoiai ʻo nā pahu nui o kēia lā ... e hoʻonui i ka paʻakikī o ka lawelawe ʻana i nā ukana, [ʻo ia ka mea] ka pilikia nui loa no nā poʻe mokulele mokulele.", lohi nā pahu huila e hopu.Ua kūʻē nui nā kāne i ka ʻoluʻolu o nā ʻeke huila - "he mea kāne loa," i hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻo Sadow ma The New York Times - a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo kāna ʻeke ʻeke ʻoi aku ka nui a he quad i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.E like me ka TV a Logie Baird, ua hoʻololi koke ʻia ʻo ia e ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe, i kēia hihia ka Rollaboard huila ʻelua i kūkulu ʻia e Northwest Airlines pilote a me DIY enthusiast Robert Plath ma 1987. Hoʻolālā ʻia ma 1999, kūʻai aku ʻo ia i kāna mau hiʻohiʻona mua i nā lālā o ka hui.He mau lima telescopic nā papa ʻōwili a hiki ke ʻōwili pololei ʻia me ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi.ʻO ka ʻike ʻana o nā kahu lele e alakaʻi ana iā lākou a puni ka mokulele i hana ʻia ka mea hana a Plath i ʻeke no nā poʻe ʻoihana.Nui aʻe nā wāhine e hele kaʻawale ana.Hoʻoholo ʻia ka hopena o ka pahu huila.
I kēia mahina, ua huakaʻi au a puni ʻEulopa ma kahi ʻano huila ʻehā o kahi Rollaboard kahiko, kahi mana aʻu i lohi ai no ka mea ua hewa nā huila ʻelua i loko o kahi honua kāne o nā ukana kahiko.Akā: maikaʻi nā huila ʻelua, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā huila ʻehā.Ua hōʻea mākou i laila ma ka huli ʻana – 10 mau kaʻaahi, ʻelua mokuahi loko, subway, ʻekolu mau hōkele – ʻoiai ua maopopo iaʻu he paʻakikī iaʻu ke hele i kahi me Patrick Leigh Fermor a i ʻole Norman Lewis ma ka pae like, akā me he mea lā he mea hoʻokō ʻaʻohe o pono kēia mau hoʻololi i ka taxi.Kaʻa lehulehu piha.Ua neʻe maʻalahi mākou ma waena o nā kaʻaahi, nā moku a me nā hōkele;ma nā alanui maikaʻi a palahalaha, me he mea lā e hoʻopuka nā kaʻa huila ʻehā i ko lākou mana ponoʻī i ka wā e paʻakikī ai ka hele ʻana—e like me ka Tour de France, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka Pave—ua maʻalahi ke hoʻi hou ma nā huila ʻelua.a hoʻomau i lalo i ka pali.
ʻAʻole maikaʻi paha ka lawe ʻana i nā ʻeke.ʻO kēia ka mea i paipai i ka poʻe e lawe ʻoi aku ma mua o ka mea e pono ai—ma mua o ka hiki iā lākou ke halihali i nā lā ʻaʻohe huila-i loko o nā ʻeke e like me ka nui o nā pahu kai e hoʻopuʻi ana i ka lobby mua o ka kaʻa a me ke ala kaʻa.Ma waho aʻe o nā mokulele haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻohe mea hoʻomohala hou i maʻalahi ka huakaʻi.Ua aie mākou iā Sadow a me Plath, nā huila paʻa paʻa a me ka wahine.
