Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - One, two! one, two! And through and throughThe vorpal blade went snicker-snack!He left it dead, and with its headHe went galumphing back.Un deux, un deux, par le milieuLe glaive vorpal fait pat-à-pan!La bête défaite, avec sa têteIl rentre gallomphant.Eins, Zwei! Eins, Zwei! Und durch und durchSeins vorpals Schwert zerschniferschnück.Da blieb es todt! Er, Kopf in HandGeläumfig zog zurück!The late Victor Proetz was by vocation a visual artist who created many distinguished architectural and decorative designs. His favorite avocation, however, was to explore the possibilities (and impossibilities) of words, especially words in translation, and to share his discoveries. As Alastair Reid says in his foreword, 'He turned words over in his head, he listened to them, he unraveled them, he looked them up, he played with them, he passed them on like presents, all with an unjadeable astonishment.'What, Proetz wondered, do some of the familiar and not-so-familiar works of English and American literature sound like in French In German 'How,' he asked, 'do you say 'Yankee Doodle' in French-if you can ' And 'How do they say 'Hounyhnhnm' and 'Cheshire Cat' and things like that in German ' And, in either language, 'How, in God's name, can you possibly say 'There she blows!' 'This book, unfortunately left incomplete on his death in 1966, contains many of his answers. They are given not only in the assembled texts and translations but also in his wry, curious, sometimes hilarious commentaries. None of it is scholarly in any formal, academic sense-'and yet,' Reid reminds us, 'his is precisely the kind of enthusiastic curiosity that gives scholarship its pointers.'.
