Bob, der Sonderling
Der deutsche Auswanderer Hugo Bertsch arbeitet in den schneebedeckten Bergen von White Mountains. Dabei wird er mit unterschiedlichsten Schicksalen und beeindruckenden Charakteren konfrontiert. Ein Mann bleibt ihm dabei unauslöschlich im Gedächtnis — Bob. Nichts fesselte Bob mehr als die Geschichte des deutschen Volkes. Zweitausend Jahre lang liegt diese Nation zwischen eifersüchtigen, feindlichen Großmächten eingekeilt und hat sich rein erhalten. Dutzend andere Völker haben derweil ihren Atem ausgehaucht, oder sich so weit von der Ursprünglichkeit entfernt, daß sie nichts mehr besitzen vom Erbe ihrer Ahnen. Deutschland nicht! Das sind immer noch die alten, ehrlichen, geselligen, nach Freiheit und — gutem Bier dürstenden Bärenhäuter. Nationen sterben. Völker sterben. Menschen sterben. Denn einmal wird eine Zeit kommen, wo die Erde, die uns heute trägt, ernährt und Heimat ist, verdorrt und erkaltet; die Sonne erkaltet, grauenvolle Mitternacht den Raum erfüllt und öde Sterne —Sterbekerzen gleich — herableuchten auf das Riesengrab der gewesenen Menschheit.
As Luck Would Have It
As Luck Would Have It by Edward Dyson is about the adventures of 26-year-old Lieutenant Robert Holland and his business with little Jimmie Inglis. Excerpt: "There's the taste and the smell in one that was opened yesterday," answered Fryer, with grudging sympathy. "Then for the love of heaven, old man!" Fryer produced the bottle and poured beer into a handleless cup. At the Hut all cups so crippled were promoted—they became tumblers. Holland drank with the air of a man taking his medicine, and groaned aloud."
Translational Action and Intercultural Communication
Translation and interpreting studies and intercultural communication have so far largely been treated as separate disciplines. Translational Action and Intercultural Communication offers an overview of a range of different theoretical and methodological approaches to examining the hitherto largely ignored connection between the two research strands. Drawing on three key concepts ('functional equivalence', 'dilated speech situation' and 'intercultural understanding'), this interdisciplinary volume attempts to interrelate the following thematic strands: procedures of mediating between cultures in translational action, problems of intercultural communication in translational action, and insights into intercultural communication based on analyses of translational action. The volume features both contrastive papers and papers which investigate communicative events in actu. The analyses presented deal with a variety of genres and types of interaction, including children's books, speech acts in dramatic text, popular science and economic texts, excerpts from intercultural university encounters, phatic talk, toast giving and medical communication.
