Stefan Zweig was the only important German writer who chose Brazil for his exile in the 1940s. Before he committed suicide in Brazil, he wrote the frequently cited and more frequently criticized book in which Brazil is called the land of the future. But in Brazil he also finished another book, 'Die Welt von Gestern', a book of memories, an account of the world from which Zweig came, a work of historic, cultural and political relevance, which was immediately published in Spanish (Argentine) and Portuguese (Brazilian) translations. When compared with the German original, these translations contain significant cuts and modifications, which can be understood as interventions of some kind of censorship, and which are prejudicial to the political brisance of the book.
Rezension zu Tippner, Anja: Alterität, Übersetzung und Kultur. Čechovs Prosa zwischen Russland und Deutschland. Frankfurt/M. u.a. (Peter Lang) 1997 (= Slawische Literaturen. Texte und Abhandlungen. Hg. von Wolf Schmid; Bd. 13).307 Seiten.
Es geht um Čechov auf deutsch. Und zur Debatte stehen die Vorurteile der Übersetzer beim Übersetzen. Behandelt wird ausschließlich Čechovs erzählende Prosa, nicht sein Bühnenwerk.
