Notă biografică

About the author Theodor Fontane, 1819 - 1898, journalist, novelist and poet, was arguably the most important German writer of the 19th C. realist movement. He is best known for his novels, such as Effi Briest, which has been favourably compared with Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary. In London in the 1850s he wrote articles on English life and mores for publication in the German press. They were later collected and published under the title Ein Sommer in London, on which this translation is largely based. About the translator John Lynch taught himself Danish and German, and later obtained the degree of BA in these languages at the University of Newcastle. He has taught English in Danish and German schools and has also worked in Sweden and Iceland. After studying at the University of East Anglia, he was awarded the degree of MA in Scandinavian Studies. He holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Librarianship and his varied career included a spell as a college tutor librarian in Banbury. In addition to the present work, John has also translated works from Danish, including The Fantasists, a novel by Hans Egede Schack, published by Austin Macauley in 2013.
