starfishskiesIst die deutsche Übrtsetzung der Witcher-Bücher besser als die englische?Durch Spiel und Serie bin ich an sich in der englischsprachigen Ecke des Universums unterwegs, und hatte auch mal angefangen, die ersten Kurzgeschichten als Audiobuch zu hören, aber ich lese nun immer wieder, wie schlecht die Bücher ins Englische übersetzt seien. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Witcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Witcher</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WitcherRomane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WitcherRomane</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WitcherNovels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WitcherNovels</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheWitcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheWitcher</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Translation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TranslatedBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TranslatedBooks</a>

Cory OldweilerOne of my favorite books I read this year is Johanna Lykke Holm’s gently fantastic fable STREGA. The English translation by Saskia Vogel is a lyrical, entrancing masterpiece that completely swept me away.

Bogi TakácsJust finished reading: Grey Bees by Andrey Kurkov, translated by Boris Dralyuk. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/NameTheTranslator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NameTheTranslator</a>A war novel with a protagonist who would rather be in a cozy kind of narrative. With bees. I was concerned how this would work, and a big part of the plot is the protag's learning experience, which is usually a turnoff for me - but then it all clicked together.Hoping to post more about it later (G-d willing)<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BogiReads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BogiReads</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Donbas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Donbas</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TranslatedBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TranslatedBooks</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ContemporaryFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ContemporaryFiction</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>
