 "The Man Without Qualities" 《沒有個性的人》 By Robert Musil


Robert Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Austria-Hungary on this day in 1880.
"Believe me, what makes the human being truly free, and what takes away his freedom, what gives him true bliss and what destroys it, isn't subject to 'progress'--it is something every genuinely alive person knows perfectly well in his own heart, if he will just listen to it!"
--from "The Man Without Qualities" (1930–1942)





這本書是我們2006年4月5月讀書會選的。
近年來中國陸續翻譯Musil 的書。奧國國家花錢招待各國譯者。

Robert Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Austria-Hungary on this day in 1880.
"Believe me, what makes the human being truly free, and what takes away his freedom, what gives him true bliss and what destroys it, isn't subject to 'progress'--it is something every genuinely alive person knows perfectly well in his own heart, if he will just listen to it!"
--from "The Man Without Qualities" (1930–1942)
Set in Vienna on the eve of World War I, this great novel of ideas tells the story of Ulrich, ex-soldier and scientist, seducer and skeptic, who finds himself drafted into the grandiose plans for the 70th jubilee of the Emperor Franz Josef. This new translation--published in two elegant volumes--is the first to present Musil's complete text, including material that remained unpublished during his lifetime.

THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON 是群英記《約翰生傳》;《懷德海對話錄》







150 《約翰生傳》. 包斯威爾, James Boswell. 志文出版社有限公司



新潮這本《約翰生傳》的翻譯缺點比較多



“He had no settled plan of life, nor looked forward at all, but merely lived from day to day. Yet he read a great deal in a desultory manner, without any scheme of study, as chance threw books in his way, and inclination directed him through them.”
―from THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON by James Boswell
The most celebrated English biography is a group portrait in which extraordinary man paints the picture of a dozen more. At the centre of a brilliant circle which included Burke, Reynolds, Garrick, Fanny Burney and even George III, Boswell captures the powerful, troubled and witty figure of Samuel Johnson, who towers above them all. Yet this is also an intimate picture of domestic life, which mingles the greatest talkers of a talkative age with the hero’s humbler friends in a picture which is, before all things, humane.
As a young man about London, James Boswell was obsessed by literature, and, on a fateful day in 1763, he attached himself with unswerving tenacity to the dominant literary figure of his age—the splendidly rotund, articulate, and humane Dr Samuel Johnson. What followed was the most famous of friendships between writers and the bais for the remarkable documentation contained in Boswell’s Life of Samuel Johnson, the greatest and most compelling of all biographies.






Aug 28, 2005 - 簡談『約翰生傳』兩翻譯本之品質 『約翰生行述』(Life of Johnson by Bowswell)人稱為傳記之最,至今沒全譯本。 昔日讀王增澄《拉塞拉斯》(遼寧教育 ...





與《約翰生傳》來對照,《懷德海對話錄》遠遠沒特色,然而,我們還是該謝謝新潮文庫。

新潮文庫似乎缺Charles Dickens 的作品,指出版《雙城記》。
1998年,上海譯文出版社出版一套主要作品集"狄更斯文集"。

匹克威克外傳 為中國高中的課外讀物,所以其譯本近5種。

【本報綜合外電報導】十九世紀英國大文豪狄更斯,作品在世界各地流傳,紀念狄更斯冥誕二百周年,倫敦博物館推出一九七○年以來最大特展,展出珍貴手稿及他創作時所用的桌椅至六月十日。

特展首席籌辦人沃納表示,狄更斯(Charles Dickens)是十九世紀文壇最重要的作家,他的影響力遍及全球,作品同時翻譯成歐洲多種語言,也翻譯成中文。

這個以「狄更斯和倫敦」為名的特展,倫敦博物館籌備二年,除了本身的收藏並向二十個單位借展,展出三百多件作品。

沃納說,特展裡不容錯過的是狄更斯使用過的桌椅,他在展出桌椅上完成《遠大前程》(Great Expectations)及《我們共同的朋友》(Our Mutual Friends)二部重要作品。

狄更斯勤於寫作,每天八時吃完早餐,巡視家中一切都安好,就到書房回覆一些重要信件,然後開始創作到午餐時間。

更難得的是,參觀者可以在展場看到狄更斯經典作品《荒涼山莊》(Bleak House)及《塊肉餘生》(David Copperfield)的手稿。

特展還安排狄更斯作品被改編的劇本,當時劇場的演員服裝,還有維多利亞女王時代當時倫敦樣貌的影片、畫作和物品,讓參觀者認識十九世紀時的倫敦城。

沃納說,狄更斯作品裡有不少對窮人的描寫,一方面是他對倫敦貧窮居民為生活的掙扎十分同情,另一方面,他也想透過作品喚起政府的重視,進而改善窮人的生活。
