Translating German Novellas into English: A Comparative Study by
Translation of fiction is always interpretation. 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. 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 #65533;poque.

This volume assesses Friedrich Schleiermacher’s contribution to the theory and practice of translation two hundred years after his classic text "On the Different Methods of Translating" (1813). It brings together scholars from Philosophy and Translation Studies who offer close readings of Schleiermacher’s ideas, placing them in the context of his hermeneutics and examining their relevance today as well as their potential to inspire further work.
