This book discusses the challenges facing translators of fictional works from German into English using as examples English translations of canonical German novellas by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Theodor Storm, Gerhart Hauptmann, Thomas Mann and Franz Kafka.\u003cbr\u003e The author addresses the difficulties of translating in the poststructuralist era, when every fictional work potentially has a large number of interpretations and, therefore, at least the same number of possible translations. Considering interpretations of the original text in detail not only improves the reader’s understanding and ability to criticize the translated text, but it will also provide valuable insight into the possible intentions of the writer. An initial linguistic observation of a target text can therefore lead to a fruitful connection between the linguistic and literary analysis of translated works. This book offers new perspectives on the delicate negotiation of translating source texts for a contemporary audience while maintaining the values, ideas and hidden meanings from the source in relation to its original époque.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Translation Studies from the perspective of a literary scholar – Translating Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s \u003ci\u003eDie Leiden des jungen Werther\u003c\/i\u003e – Translating Goethe’s \u003ci\u003eNovelle \u003c\/i\u003e– Translating Theodor Storm’s \u003ci\u003eDer Schimmelreiter\u003c\/i\u003e – Translating Gerhart Hauptmann’s \u003ci\u003eBahnwärter Thiel \u003c\/i\u003e– Translating Thomas Mann’s \u003ci\u003eDeath in Venice \u003c\/i\u003e– Translating Franz Kafka’s \u003ci\u003eDie Verwandlung\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043623371095,"sku":"9783034309844","price":54.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034309844.jpg?v=1750958918","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/translating-german-novellas-into-english-a-comparative-study-9783034309844","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
