Antonine Maillet in German: A Case Study
From: Translating Canada
$0.90
The Goncourt Prize always ensures international interest. In German-speaking countries, this particular award did not, however, garner much interest, nor did it lead to a German translation of the book [Pélagie-la-charrette]. This lack of interest may have been due to the difficulty of the book’s language, the style of writing, or the provincial theme.
