The Language of the Third Reich : Lti - Lingua Tertii Imperii : A Philologist's Notebook - Hardcover
Synopsis
Under the Third Reich, the official language of Nazism came to be used as a political tool. The existing social culture was manipulated and subverted as the German people had their ethical values and their thoughts about politics, history and daily life recast in a new language. This Notebook, originally called LTI (Lingua Tertii Imperii)-the abbreviation itself a parody of Nazified language-was written out of Klemperer's conviction that the language of the Third Reich helped to create its culture. As Klemperer writes: "it isn't only Nazi actions that have to vanish, but also the Nazi cast of mind, the typical Nazi way of thinking, and its breeding ground: the language of Nazism." This brilliant, entertaining, profound, and ultimately saddening and horrifying book is one of the great twentieth-century studies of language and of its engagement with history.

About the Author
Victor Klemperer (1881-1960), a front-line veteran of the First World War, became professor of French literature at Dresden University. A Jew, he was taken from his university post in 1935 and only survived thanks to his marriage to an Aryan. From 1933 to 1945 he kept detailed diaries, now in the course of publication, which contain, in note form, some of the raw material for LTI.
