Languages Other Than English in Which WG Can Be Read (1) The languages other than English in which WG can be read: . !Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish! !French, Spanish! * * * * * NOTE: despite occasional claims to the contrary, such as this one from Amazon: I can find no evidence to confirm that any WG work has ever been published in Catalan. As in other similar instances, the above-quoted title is not in Catalan. Although the books in question were published by Caralt or Javier Vergara in Barcelona (i.e. in Catalonia), their titles and texts invariably prove to be in Spanish. * * * * * !Italian, Turkish, Slovenian, Czech! !Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Serbian! !Thai, Burmese, Japanese, Russian! !German, Portuguese, Dutch, Bulgarian! !Hebrew, Polish, Greek Estonian Ukrainian !Icelandic, Braille (= 29)! (2) Which was WG's first foreign language publication? WG's first foreign language publication in book form was a 1946 French translation of The Forgotton Story from Editions Begh entitled Histoire Oubliée. Its drab appearance (see below) is in keeping with the period of post- war austerity in which it was produced. However, nine years before that book appeared, a Stockholm-based daily newspaper called Nya Dagligt Allehanda paid WG £15 for the right to serialise his fifth novel, The Dangerous Pawn. The book was duly published, unabridged, in Swedish, in seventy-three daily parts from 17 July to 27 September 1937 under the title (a literal translation) Den Farliga Bonden. Below are three images showing some of the opening part of the serial from Nya Dagligt Allehanda, 17 July 1937 plus the paper's masthead as it appeared on its final edition, published in 1944: The facsimile title page above reads: THE DANGEROUS PAWN / NOVEL by Winston Graham / AUTHORISED TRANSLATION FOR NDA (i.e. Nya Dagligt Allehanda) The kind help of librarians CÅ and AO is much appreciated. * * * * * (3) Urdu? The July 1967 issue of US book club magazine The Literary Guild Preview includes the following paragraph: The statement "he's been translated into Urdu" is intriguing, but could it be true? Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and spoken in parts of India and elsewhere also. Did Marnie appear in an early-sixties Urdu edition of Reader's Digest Condensed Books? Or, more probably, in one of the several similar Pakistani digest magazines sold at the time? Hitchcock's 1964 film was screened in Pakistan (see FILM ART), which would have raised awareness of and interest in the source work. But such questions are easier to ask than to answer. Routine searches have failed to show up any mainstream publication of either Marnie or any other WG title, but if something was serialised in the popular press but not published in book form (as happened in Iceland and Sweden – see pages 9-12 above), it may now be difficult if not impossible to disinter. So, WG was also published in Urdu – perhaps. * * * * * NO SW DK SU FR SP IT TK SV CZ HU RM CR SB TH BM JP DE RU PT NL BG IS PL HE ES UK IC Br Dgs Pawn 1 Giant's Ch 1 NJ (1941) 2 1-12, other 0 Fgn Story 7 Ross Pold 22 Demelza 20 Take ML 9 Cordelia 6 NW Stars 7 Jeremy P 18 Fortune 10 Warleggan 17 Litt Walls 8 Sl Partner 12 Greek Fire 5 Tumb Ho 8 Marnie 25 Grove Eag 5 After Act 8 NJ (1966) 6 Walk Stick 15 Angell PLG 9 Japanese 0 Armadas 0 Bl Moon 14 W Mirror 3 4 Swans 13 Angry Tide 11 ML (1979) 3 Stranger 9 NO SW DK SU FR SP IT TK SV CZ HU RM CR SB TH BM JP DE RU PT NL BG IS PL HE ES UK IC Br Miller's D 7 Pol Corn 0 Loving Cp 6 Gr Flash 1 Cameo 1 Tw Sword 4 Stephanie 3 Tremor 1 Ugly Sister 0 Bella Pold 4 Memoirs 1 Wemb Job 6 Sh Stories 4 C Ev (play) 1 8 24 9 16 17 20 19 5 1 8 5 11 6 1 2 2 6 24 21 13 19 3 7 14 6 9 5 3 29 313 The 29 languages other than English in which WG's work can be read YELLOW = book or ebook, RED = newspaper / magazine / other publication only SU = Finnish, SV= Slovenian, RM = Romanian, SB = Serbian, TH = Thai, BM = Burmese, RU = Russian, IS = Hebrew, HE = Greek, ES = Estonian, UK = Ukrainian, IC= Icelandic, Br = Braille Note: publication of all the translations recorded above has been confirmed.

  • Blindness and Runes
    1 "...blindr er betri en brenndr séi..." Runes as a Tactile Writing System1 Frederick W. Schwink University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Attempts to devise characters which could be understood by the blind through their sense of touch reach far back in the epoch of human progress, perhaps to the time when letters or figures were inscribed on some substance to be read by another, and certainly to the earliest period when efforts were made to give instruction to the sightless. The first recorded attempt to find such a means was made shortly after the beginning of the sixteenth century (ca. 1517), when Francisco Lucas of Saragossa, Spain, contrived a set of letters carved on thin tablets of wood."
