The form it takes in the title of the thread is idiomatic and when shifting between languages you either have to use the existing idiom of that language (often it is very similar in related languages) or just express the clear meaning.
Is there a set phrase that expresses 'I was/you was unaware that..'? If so, all well and good. If not, just express the meaning.

opalo:The set phrase "Little did X know, that Y" very specifically means..The style of Esperanto is characteristically simpler. For this reason, an attempt to make the Esperanto as elaborate as the original would not necesaarily be a good translation. For the same reason, I would stand by my simpler version.
