Kafka Translated
Kafka Translated is the first book to look at the issue of translation and Kafka's work. What effect do the translations have on how we read Kafka? Are our interpretations of Kafka influenced by the translators' interpretations? In what ways has Kafka been 'translated' into Anglo-American culture by popular culture and by academics? Michelle Woods investigates issues central to the burgeoning field of translation studies: the notion of cultural untranslatability; the centrality of female translators in literary history; and the under-representation of the influence of the translator as interpreter of literary texts. She specifically focuses on the role of two of Kafka's first translators, Milena Jesenská and Willa Muir, as well as two contemporary translators, Mark Harman and Michael Hofmann, and how their work might allow us to reassess reading Kafka. From here Woods opens up the whole process of translation and re-examines accepted and prevailing interpretations of Kafka's work.
Auf Knopfdruck
Oskar Seidenglanz - vom einfachen Lehrling aus dem 9. Wiener Bezirk, der sich zunächst als Wehrmachtsoffizier in Sammelwohnungen von deportierten jüdischen Familien einnistet, um sich nach dem Krieg als vermeintlich jüdischer Geschäftsmann in einer Villa im noblen Stadtteil "Am Himmel" im 19. Bezirk neu zu erfinden. "Auf Knopfdruck - Vienna Postwar Flair" beleuchtet die Hintergründe jener jüdischen Familien, deren Schicksal sich Oskar Seidenglanz mithilfe seines Netzwerkes zunutze machte, um mit seiner Textilkette OSEI zum "Wirtschaftswunder Österreich" nach 1945 beizutragen.
