For the Love of Language. The Magic Mountain. Hans Castorp is, on the face of it, an ordinary man in his early 20s, on course to start a career in ship engineering in his home town of Hamburg, when he decides to travel to the Berghof Santatorium in Davos. The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins. But when Castorp arrives he is surprised to find an established community of patients, and little by little, he gets drawn into the closeted life and the individual personalities of the residents. worth the wait. Buddenbrooks. First published in 1900, when Thomas Mann was 25, Buddenbrooks is a minutely imagined chronicle of four generations of a North German mercantile family - a work so true to life that it scandalized the author’s former neighbours in his native Lübeck. Where Have You Been All My Life, Thomas Mann? Berlin Alexanderplatz. Berlin Alexanderplatz , the great novel of Berlin and the doomed Weimar Republic, is one of the great books of the 20th century, gruesome, farcical, and appalling, word drunk, pitchdark. In Michael Hofmann's extraordinary new translation, Alfred Döblin's masterpiece lives in English for the first time. Stephen Dadelus Has Nothing on Franz Biberkopf. The Metamorphosis and Other Stories. In the bizarre world of Franz Kafka, salesmen turn into giant bugs, apes give lectures at college academies, and nightmares probe the mysteries of modern humanity’s unhappiness.

The Anatomy of Melancholy , presented here with all the original quotations in English, is, at last, available on audiobook in its entirety. Nam Et Doctis Hisce Erroribus Versatus Sum. Dead Souls. Gogol's great Russian classic is the Pickwick Papers of Russian literature. It takes a sharp but humorous look at life in all its strata but especially the devious complexities in Russia, with its landowners and serfs. We are introduced to Chichikov, a businessman who, in order to trick the tax authorities, buys up dead 'souls', or serfs, whose names still appear on the government census.

Early History As France's capital and most populous city, Paris has long been a natural draw for those seeking to escape the traditional conservatism of provincial France. Michael D. Sibalis notes that Paris's reputation as a focus for queer life in France dates back as far as the Middle Ages, citing as evidence among other things a twelfth-century poet's description of the city as reveling in "the vice of Sodom." Medieval Paris was not exactly a queer paradise, however. Throughout the Middle Ages numerous poor Parisians were regularly convicted and, in some instances, executed for engaging in sodomy and other same-sex activities. Things improved somewhat by the early modern period. While their exact correspondence to contemporary categories of glbtq sexuality is open to debate, well-developed sodomitical subcultures had emerged in Paris by the eighteenth century. Some historians, such as Maurice Lever, claim these subcultures formed a "homosexual world .

Of particular interest are the ways in which Yiddish literature reflects and responds to the social, cultural, political, and religious aspects of Jewish life as it unfolds in Eastern Europe, as well as in North America. The texts include selections from Chasidism, the Jewish Enlightenment, and Yiddish Modernism, as the course traces the development of a major literary tradition that was obliterated with the destruction of European Jewish civilization in the Holocaust. The purpose of the course is to impart to students an understanding of the Yiddish literary tradition and how that tradition reflects Jewish history, Jewish teachings, and the tensions that shape both. Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes The ultimate aim of the course is to arrive at a deeper understanding of the themes that run throughout Yiddish literature and the Jewish life reflected in that literature, so that student may have an appreciation of this tradition that was obliterated in the Holocaust.

All texts that are quoted have been duly referenced according to departmental convention. ………………………………………. Mathaabe Thabane 2 ABSTRACT This thesis conducts a study of literary translation using selected texts by Franz Kafka as translated from German into English in the mid-twentieth century and in the early twenty- first century. This study entails a three-fold orientation, namely: to show the extent of the impact of socio-historical, political and cultural factors on both the translation process and translation product; secondly, it demonstrates the fact that a merging of theoretical principles and practical methods is necessary and possible for the study of literary translations; thirdly, it answers the questions of why the same literary works continue to be retranslated and why every generation of Kafka scholars and readers will need their own translations of his works. This research, furthermore, proposes that the position of literary translation should be elevated since this kind of translation can reveal more about the cultural and linguistic intricacies of the translation process.

  • VOLUME 2, 2006 the Vienna of Hitler and Freud
    VOLUME 2, 2006 The Vienna of Hitler and Freud: An Undergraduate Seminar Course Ian Reifowitz SUNY-Empire State College This essay discusses “The Vienna of Hitler and Freud,” a seminar course that examines the culture of the Habsburg capital in the period from 1867 through 1938, with a particular focus on the years just before and after 1900. The goal of this course was twofold. First, it sought to introduce students to broad historical debates about the nature of Viennese fin-de-siècle culture by having them read political and cultural histories about that society. Then, it asked them to read important works of fiction and non-fiction produced in that society and attempt to assess how accurately these works reflected each of the historical arguments they had previously discussed. This approach can produce fruitful results with well-prepared, motivated students at many different kinds of post- secondary institutions. Teaching Austria, Volume 2 (2006) 89 More broadly, the goal of this kind of seminar is for students to gain an understanding of how to study in depth any historical topic or period of time. I sought to develop their analytical skills in examining primary and secondary sources. Furthermore, I encouraged them to look for common themes across their sources that reflect broad trends in a given society and culture. The course was designed to impart skills that will hopefully aid students in any kind of advanced study they might eventually undertake, either in or outside of academia. Course Context and Requirements I offered "The Vienna of Hitler and Freud" as an upper-level (i.e.

  • Basic Facts About Yiddish
    Basic Facts about Yiddish This updated edition of the 1946 YIVO booklet was made possible by a generous grant from the Fishman Foundation for Yiddish Culture. Kinder: onfanger lernbukh farn ershtn yor by D. Tarant and D. Friedman. Illustration by William Gropper, 1929. (YIVO Library) 1. What is Yiddish? Yiddish has been the spoken language of a considerable portion of the Jewish people, the Ashkenazim, for the past one thousand years. It has served as the expression of everyday Jewish life, religious, secular, and every level in between. It possesses a significant literature, press and folklore and has a large musical component. Yiddish was the language of instruction in many Jewish schools and is currently taught in numerous colleges and universities throughout the world. © 2014 YIVO INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH RESEARCH 1 Yiddish is the vehicle of a rich cultural heritage; its idioms, proverbs, songs, and humor symbolize the patterns of Ashkenazic Jewish living and thinking. 2. The name “Yiddish” Yiddish means “Jewish” in the language itself. Many centuries ago, “Yiddish” is what Jews called the language, although for hundreds of years it was called a variety of other names, among them, Taytsh, Yidish-taytsh, Loshn-ashkenaz, and Zhargon, all of which have been outmoded for at least 100 years. In English usage, the name “Yiddish” was adopted around the middle of the nineteenth century in England, when Jewish immigrants starting coming to that country from Europe. With the rising immigration of the Jews to the United States, the name was also adopted there as well. 3. Yiddish in the United States and the World Over The United States census of 1940 provided the number of those who declared Yiddish to have been the language they spoke in early childhood.
