Georg Trakl Prize Grand Austrian State Prize City of Vienna Golden Honor Medal City of Vienna Literary Award He does not translate individual lines, he rather translates the [whole] poem; he does not draw the words, but he paints the tone. Quite a few verses appear a bit strange at first, but a closer look at the text shows that the translation is often an expression of something that lies between the lines With his own language, influenced by the late German Romanticism, and his particular literary style which quite satisfied the needs and wishes of a not-so-small reading public for the time, he transformed, for example, the alien i.
Lessing, in his review of Westzimmer Lessing We can not say how faithfully the German translator has followed the original; but he has presented a piece of pure poetry, full of tender and deep feeling, utmost fascinating psychologically, formally perhaps a little dilettantish the rhymes of the numerous songs!

Schmitt was fined the sum of RM — for defama-tion although the fine was waived in the end on the basis of the Saxon Amnesty Law of April 12, ! In the statement of reasons, the District Court has stated [and not least on the basis of testimony from the sinologist Eduard Erkes , while Erich Haenisch had refused to testify] that the work of Hundhausen actually happens to be an independant translation and the translation is based on the Chinese original.
And is it even worth trying to settle the peculiar confrontation between the amateur and the specialist, the inspired poet and the philologist? The first reason refers to the present, mediating task of the discipline, strictly speaking: And this is also true for classical Chinese literature: Introduction and annotations by Hans Bethge.
