Nesthäkchen and the World War: First English Translation of the German Children's Classic

Nesthäkchen and the World War: First English Translation of the German Children's Classic


A recent survey of German women revealed that 55% had read Else Ury's Nesthäkchen books. Even more had heard them read over the radio or had seen the television serialization. Germans call a spoiled child or family pet a Nesthäkchen. Else Ury's Nesthäkchen is a Berlin doctor's daughter, Annemarie Braun, a slim, golden blond, quintessential German girl. The ten book series follows Annemarie from infancy (Nesthäkchen and Her Dolls) to old age and grandchildren (Nesthäkchen with White Hair). Nesthäkchen and the World War, the fourth volume in the series, is the tale of a pre-adolescent girl growing up in Berlin at the outbreak of World War I. It presents a charming, skillful evocation of a long-vanished world, while Steven Lehrer's annotations put the story in historical context. Nesthäkchen and the World War conveys a timeless lesson, for children as well as adults, about the nature of war. Wars often begin with an outpouring of patriotic sentiment. World War I started this way, and Else Ury's description of German war-euphoria in 1914 is chilling. But when the narrative ends, in mid 1916, the war could no longer be mistaken for a noble, patriotic adventure.

Germany’s Western Front: Translations from the German Official History of the Great War, 1915

Germany’s Western Front: Translations from the German Official History of the Great War, 1915


This multi-volume series in seven parts is the first English-language translation of Der Weltkrieg, the German official history of the First World War. Originally produced between 1925 and 1944 using classified archival records that were destroyed in the aftermath of the Second World War, Der Weltkrieg is the untold story of Germany’s experience on the Western front, in the words of its official historians, making it vital to the study of the war and official memory in Weimar and Nazi Germany. Although exciting new sources have recently been uncovered in former Soviet archives, this work remains the basis of future scholarship. It is essential reading for any scholar, graduate student, or enthusiast of the Great War. This volume, the first of the series to appear in print, focuses on 1915, the first year of trench warfare. For the first time in the history of warfare, poison gas was used against French and Canadian troops at Ypres. Meanwhile, conflict raged in the German High Command over the political and military direction of the war. The year 1915 also set the stage for the bloodbath at Verdun and sealed the fate of the German Supreme Commander, Erich von Falkenhayn. This is the official version of that story. Foreword by Hew Strachan Co-published with the Laurier Centre for Military, Strategic and Disarmament Studies

Daughters Of Eve: Women's Writing From The German Democ

Daughters Of Eve: Women's Writing From The German Democ


This volume is the first anthology of contemporary East German women's writing in English translation. It will introduce scholars and general readers to writers whose voices are essential to an understanding of the situation of women in today's changing Europe. Included are short stories, essays, autobiographical sketches, and excerpts from novels, written between 1974 and 1986 by women of the postwar generation. Their work reflects everyday life in the GDR before the fall of the Berlin Wall with vitality, sympathy, humor, and warmth. This literature has been of great significance within the GDR as a public forum for social-critical discussion, and in the West for its depiction—as the volume title suggests—of universal issues confronting women in modern society: women and work, women and family, women’s self-determination in relation to other people and social institutions. The twenty-five authors represented are Renate Apitz, Irene Böhme, Danie

Struwwelpeter 2000: The original German verse and 1861 illustrations of Der Struwwelpeter with new English translations (English and German Edition)

Struwwelpeter 2000: The original German verse and 1861 illustrations of Der Struwwelpeter with new English translations (English and German Edition)


Max and Moritz 2000 and Struwwelpeter 2000 are deluxe hardcover bilingual editions of these children's classics, with the original pictures and German verse - side by side with new, closer, English translations that concentrate on copying the easy rhythm and rhyming and natural language of the originals and, after that, are as literal as possible, line by line and word by word.In Struwwelpeter 2000 the translations follow Hoffmann's words and pictures right to the end of each story. For some of the stories a happier ending is then added in a few lines or in a sequel. Conrad is taken to hospital and his thumbs are reattached. Flying Robert is found next morning, clinging to a steeple, and is rescued by the fire department. A page at the end gives instructions for making "suncatchers" (stained glass window hangings) in the shapes of Struwwelpeter figures. Struwwelpeter was written in 1844 by Frankfurt physician Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann (1809-1894) as a Christmas gift for his three-year-old son Carl Philipp. He put it together very quickly from funny stories that he had been using to talk children out of their fear of the doctor, as they watched him penciling sketches to illustrate. The book is sometimes faulted as too scary for children, but it has nothing even remotely as scary as Hansel and Gretel or Babes in the wood - or today's television cartoons for children. Hoffmann knew better than these critics - he was a front-line professional, using these very stories to put his child patients at their ease. From 1851 onward he specialized in psychology. His book Struwwelpeter became immensely popular as soon as it was published (1845) and has remained soi ever since:*Hundreds of editions. *Translations into over 50 German dialects. *Translations into over 30 languages. *More than a dozen English translations, one of them by Mark Twain. There is a whole literature of "Struwwelpetriaden" (parodies and imitations) and an active scholarly literature. There is a Struwwelpeter Museum in Frankfurt.

The Crusade of Frederick Barbarossa (Crusade Texts in Translation)

The Crusade of Frederick Barbarossa (Crusade Texts in Translation)


This is the first English translation of the main contemporary accounts of the Crusade and death of the German Frederick I Barbarossa (ruled 1152-90). The most important of these, the "History of the Expedition of the Emperor Frederick" was written soon after the events described, and is a crucial, and under-used source for the Third Crusade (at least in the Anglophone world). The account begins with two letters describing the disaster of Hattin and Saladin's subsequent conquest of most of the Holy Land (the second of these is addressed to the duke of Austria). It goes on to describe how the emperor took the Cross, the preparations and recruitment for the Crusade, the diplomatic contacts of Barbarossa with the Byzantine Emperor and the Sultan of Iconium in an attempt to secure a peaceful passage for the expedition, and the Crusade itself: the journey through the Balkans and the gruelling march through Asia Minor, beset by Turkish attack, until its arrival at Antioch on 21st July 1190, eleven days after the emperor had drowned while crossing a river in Cilician Armenia. The "History" gives a vivid account of the sufferings of the German army as it traversed Asia Minor. The account of the expedition itself appears to be, or to be based upon an eyewitness record, cast in the form of (often) a daily memoir. However, it concludes with an account of the captivity and release of Richard I in Germany, Henry VI's conquest of the kingdom of Sicily, and of the preparations for a new Crusade under his leadership. In addition, a number of further accounts related to, and expanding, the "History of the Expedition" have also been translated, including a contemporary newsletter about the death of the emperor, as well as the narrative of Otto of St Blasien, placing the Crusade into context twenty years later, and a contemporary account of the capture of Silves in Portugal by German crusaders on their way to the Holy Land in 1189. This collection will be a valuable companion volume to the three other volumes relating to the Third Crusade in this series: "The Conquest of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade", trans. Edbury, the "Itinerarium Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis Ricardi", trans. Nicholson, and "The Rare and Excellent History of Saladin", trans. Richards.

Cecile

Cecile


The first English translation of a mature work by the greatest German novelist of the nineteenth century, a brilliant portrait of a female in a starkly male-dominated society. A story of mutual sexual attraction at a fashionable spa moves to a grim climax among the high-society fringe of Berlin. Given the author's sympathy with the position of a woman in a man's world, and the setting of the new German capital of Berlin, this is as relevant today as when it was first written. "Conveys an astonishingly full picture of German society in rapid and often costly change." - The Times. "Written with wit and a controlled fury and Radcliffe's elegant translation does it superb justice. More, please." - The Observer. "This is a solid, long-overdue, and welcome contribution to the body of classical works of German literature in translation, and it compares favorably with Douglas Parmé's translation of Effi Briest, the best known novel by Fontane in the English-Speaking world." - Translation Review.

German Public Takeover Law (Legislation in Translation)

German Public Takeover Law (Legislation in Translation)


Since it was enacted early in 2002, the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act has proven to be a well functioning body of law for public takeovers. With ample opportunity to work with the rules, all parties offerors, target company directors and managers, regulators, and courts have established a firm basis for proceeding confidently with public mergers and acquisitions and public-to-private transactions in Germany. This shift from the uncertain business environment in which the first edition of this book appeared in 2002 calls for an update. This new edition takes into account all the regulatory and judicial clarifications that have emerged during the intervening years, as well as the 2006 amendments that make use of the option not to apply the restrictive European model concerning defensive measures of target companies against public takeover attempts. Among the features of the Act (and the legal framework it represents) considered here are the following: the European passport for public offers; squeeze-out options for offerors; sell-out option for shareholders of target companies; the role of the regulator (BaFin); and restructuring measures after a successful offer. A substantial portion of the book is taken up with texts of the relevant German laws and regulations, synoptically arranged in both German and English. In particular it contains the complete Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act and all of its related regulations, together with substantial portions of the Stock Corporation Act and many other statutory materials that are relevant in public takeover and public-to-private transactions. "German Public Takeover Law, Second Edition," will greatly assist strategic and financial investors, their investment bankers, lawyers and other advisors in international and cross-border business to better understand what their German lawyers are advising them, as it facilitates communication between different legal cultures. The book is also an excellent guide to the current and future characteristics of the law governing German equity markets.
