The aim of this study is to trace back the translator of "Reinhold Lubenau Seyahatnamesi [Osmanlı Ülkesinde, 1587-1589]" and focus on her translation approach through paratexts. The traveller portrays the Muslim 'other' whom he met in the Ottoman Empire where he spent his time between the years 1587-1589, when the Ottoman Empire had the power and Islam was being perceived as a threat to them versus his own culture which he belonged to as a Prussian Protestant. The translation of this itinerary is available to Turkish readers after approximately 400 years in 2012. What makes this translation interesting is the translation of a source text, in which the target culture was being portrayed from the perspective of the 'other', into a target language. How was this 'foreign' perspective constructed by the traveler translated and reflected in the paratext? What was the approach of the translator against the challenges he encountered during the translation process? Answers to these questions among many others were being searched through an examination of paratexts. In addition, it was also discussed whether the author moved to the reader or the reader moved to the author. Paratexts encourage reading and direct the reception (Genette 2016). In this study, book covers, names, titles, genre, graphics illustration and footnotes were examined. Translator footnotes, which were provided by the translator in order to make the text clear, were classified in order to underline the functions of these footnotes. Translator footnotes are the tools, which make translators visible and help them to raise their voices in the texts. In peritexts, translator can provide extra information to the readers, explain and justify his/her translation decisions.
Die deutsche Literatur ist ohne die Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm nicht zu denken. Sie verkörpern die deutsche Kultur und sind sowohl für Kinder und Jugendliche als auch für Erwachsene geeignet. Neben der Kulturvermittlung von Generation zu Generation haben die Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm den Zweck, das Volk zu belehren und aufzuklären. Die Märchen sind nicht nur in europäischen Ländern gängig, sondern stoßen auch in anderen Ländern wie Georgien, Aserbaidschan und der Türkei auf großes Interesse. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Absicht, orientalische Einflüsse in den georgischen, aserbaidschanischen und türkischen Märchenübersetzungen der Gebrüder Grimm zu analysieren und diese zu deuten. Hierfür wird von den Märchen "Rotkäppchen" und "Der Wolf und die sieben Geißlein" Gebrauch gemacht. Parallel dazu werden die Übersetzungen mit der deutschen Ausgangssprache in Vergleich gesetzt und somit sowohl Differenzen als auch Gemeinsamkeiten aufgezeigt.
