The Forty Days of Musa Dagh: Verba Mundi (Paperback), cartea 20
Vartan Gregorian Autor Franz Werfel Traducere de Geoffrey Dunlopen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2011
The original English translation by Geoffrey Dunlop has been revised and expanded by translator James Reidel. The Dunlop translation had excised approximately 25% of the original text. The restoration of these passages and their new translation gives a fuller picture of the extensive inner lives of the characters. Reidel has also revised the existing translation to free Werfel's stronger usages from Dunlop's softening of meaning, his censoring of the novel to fit the mores and commercial contingencies of the mid-1930s.

Franz

was
already
a
successful
writer
when
in

Dagh,
inspired
by
the
desperate

of
Armenian
children
he
had
seen
working
in
a
Syrian
carpet
factory.
A
bestseller
and
Werfel's
masterpiece,
the

the
world's
attention
for

A crackling read. Symphonic in its handling of profound themes, respectful of its most vacillating characters, Werfel's novel is a grand and satisfying story about the necessities and difficulties of leadership
