Agatha Christie’s <i>The Mysterious Affair at Styles</i> in German and Dutch Translation: The Remarkable Case of the Six Poirots: Approaches to Translation Studies, cartea 43
Autor Marjolijn Stormen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 ian 2016
No matter where in the world you are, Hercule Poirot is a name that conjures up certain associations. The detailed analysis of the original text, three German and two Dutch translations of The Mysterious Affair at Styles however shows that his depiction differs immensely between the individual texts. In the course of this book, reasons for these differences are found via the analysis of the shifts of status of Agatha Christie as an author of detective fiction and of translations from English in Germany and the Netherlands. During this exploration the discovery will be made that, when translated, escapist literature such as Christie’s detective fiction actually becomes a highly political affair.
