Mein Kampf: a Translation Controversy Free FREE MEIN KAMPF: A TRANSLATION CONTROVERSY PDF Michael Ford | 200 pages | 22 Apr 2009 | Elite Minds, Incorporated | 9780977476084 | English, German | Camarillo, United States Errors in the Ford Translation of Mein Kampf Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy, Ph. Michael Ford published a rather bad translation of Mein Kampf some years back, which he claimed to be the best of all available translations. At the bottom of the page, I comment on why I bother. He issues a variety of editions. For more details, if you happen to stumble across this page, look at the amazon customer reviews of his various publications. Many scholars simply leave it untranslated. First, it is grammatically incorrect although Mr. Ford for some reason thinks it sounds better to an English reader than the grammatically correct form. It was a daily newspaper that covered national and international events from a Nazi perspective. For example, the Nazi illustrated weekly was the Illustrierter Beobachter. By Mr. Ford provides several pages of justification in his booklet that announces the excellence of his translation pp. He is not persuasive. If you are curious, do read those pages, and the material he appends on pp. Ford, by the way, had a curious mixed metaphor in Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy justification. An odd thing for an ear to do. I have been following his revisions to that remarkable document, and find that he fairly often repairs errors I point out never giving me credit, however. Let us begin with the the first page of his first edition:. Ford thought it needed to be added. Well, Mr. Ford Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy on demand, so he repairs errors as people point them out. And he decided that the cover of his first version was rather gaudy, so he put out a new one, with some errors corrected. You will note that he has corrected the German error, but kept the English infelicity. I do wonder if Mr. Ford actually knows much German himself, since his translation has many errors like this one from p. The sentence in italics is silly. Thus, the Frankfurter Zeitung is a newspaper published in Frankfurt. Ford makes that error. And many like it. There are lots of other errors that carried over from the first to the second edition, and I may include more if anyone is interested. Contact me at bytw 2 calvin. It goes back to when I first discovered it — on the Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy page for Mein Kampf. I discovered that October and removed it. Since I know a fair amount about Nazi propaganda check me out if curiousI was puzzled. I checked amazon. Ford had gotten some shill reviews since removed before publication, and was selling copies merrily. Nicely circular. Ford was, and is, remarkably silent about his qualifications to translate Mein Kampf. He provides little information about himself. He's written other self-published books on how to avoid being scammed on e-Bay, and how to find a job Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy you are a felon. He also markets grammar checking Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy, which he either does not use himself, or does not work well, given the number of errors in his material. I investigated his work, and found it poor. I posted a review on amazon, and promptly got all sorts of nasty comments from his friends, most of whom apparently do not know German, and think that the way to conduct an argument is to toss insults. In short, I see my efforts as a kind of consumer protection. If people want to buy Mr. However, they should at least know they are buying a bad translation. Google Scholar allows one to check scholarly citations. It also provides interesting material for my course on persuasion and propaganda. Although Mr. Ford does not seem to know German well, he is a master of Internet promotion. He makes a fascinating case study. Errors in the Ford Translation of Mein Kampf.

  • Holocaust Revisionism
    Holocaust Revisionism by Mark R. Elsis This article is dedicated to everyone before me who has been ostracized, vilified, reticulated, set up, threatened, lost their jobs, bankrupted, beaten up, fire bombed, imprisoned and killed for standing up and telling the truth on this historical subject. This is also dedicated to a true humanitarian for the people of Palestine who was savagely beaten and hung by the cowardly agents of the Mossad. Vittorio Arrigoni (February 4, 1975 - April 15, 2011) Holocaust Revisionism has two main parts. The first is an overview of information to help explain whom the Jews are and the death and carnage that they have inflicted on the Gentiles throughout history. The second part consists of 50 in-depth sections of evidence dealing with and repudiating every major facet of the Jewish "Holocaust " myth. History Of The Jews 50 Sections Of Evidence "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." Jesus Christ (assassinated after calling the Jews money changers) Speaking to the Jews in the Gospel of St. John, 8:44 I well know that this is the third rail of all third rail topics to discuss or write about, so before anyone takes this piece the wrong way, please fully hear me out. Thank you very much for reading this article and for keeping an open mind on this most taboo issue.

  • The Utopian Imagination of George Bernard Shaw: Totalitarianism and the Seduction of the Superman
    The Utopian Imagination of George Bernard Shaw: Totalitarianism and the Seduction of the Superman Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew B. Yde, MA Graduate Program in the Department of Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Advisor Richard Dutton Beth Kattelman Copyright by Matthew B. Yde 2011 Abstract Playwright George Bernard Shaw has a reputation as a humanitarian, an indefatigable seeker of justice and, in his own words, a ―world betterer.‖ But this reputation is difficult to reconcile with his support for the totalitarian regimes and dictators that emerged after the First World War, which is not so well known. This enthusiasm is usually dismissed as an expression of Shaw‘s well known propensity for comic exaggeration and hyperbole, his pugnacious rhetoric, his love of paradox, and especially his addiction to antagonizing the British political establishment. However, as I believe this dissertation proves, Shaw‘s support was genuine, rooted in his powerful desire for absolute control over the unruly and chaotic, in a deep psychological longing for perfection. Shaw expressed rigid control over his own bodily instincts, and looked for political rulers of strong will and utopian designs to exercise similar control over unruly social elements. It is occasionally stated that Shaw‘s support for totalitarianism grew out of his frustration with nineteenth century liberalism, which ineffectually culminated in a disastrous world war. Yet close analysis to two of Shaw‘s Major Critical Essays from the 1890s shows that even then Shaw expressed a desire for a ruthless man of action unencumbered by the burden of conscience to come on the scene and establish a new world order, to initiate the utopian epoch.
