Got the ideas of organisation, I mean.Hi there !raynr wrote: you already claimed your second project - that's great.
I have a book of russian translations of Remarque's short stories he wrote in his whole lifetime. One of these stories is called <<Great and unimportant "surprises" of my life (The interview with myself)>> (1966). In first lines Remarque states:Gesine wrote:I believe Remarque is a pseudonym for Kramer, written back to front.
Yeah, I read once that German people have forgotten him... That's a bit sad. I know his art is regarded a little sentimental, romantic and old fashioned, but to my mind... well.. I've read it with one attempt (I mean I sat in the morning and till the deep night read that book), that was rather easy and interesting, I just flew into that athomsphere of Germany in the beginning of 20 century and that images he done seemed to me amazing.. well, may be it's because in the 80s my person wasn't even in a project %)...Gesine wrote: When I read him (in the 80s), I thought he was quite old-fashioned - the sort of 'popular' books that could be found in some parents' bookcases. I liked "Im Westen nichts Neues" (All Quiet on the Western Front) when I read it. - I don't think very many of my contemporaries know much about Remarque, although that title will bring instant recognition.
Yeah, I'm also very interested in knowing his pov %)Gesine wrote: Let's see what Rainer's take on it is.
How interesting. Is Kramer a Jewish name? I suppose it might be. I'm sure I read that on one of his book covers. Perhaps the marketing dept at his publisher's liked the story and decided to use it... :)Question: Your surname is Kramer, isn't it?
Answer: No. But there wasn't an obstacle for this rubbish to became widespread in the world and still regarded as a truth.
...
I think it was the myth by Hitler's company to make him offended and make people believe that he was "dirty Jewish"... the usual practice for that time...

Yes, definitelyGesine wrote:I'm sure I read that on one of his book covers. Perhaps the marketing dept at his publisher's liked the story and decided to use it...
Argh, greedy sons of a market And I fear I am one of these, although I claim not to be wholly illiterate.caree wrote:Yeah, I read once that German people have forgotten him...
, it's even a very well known phrase nowadays.Cool! That would be really great! But he died only about 30 years ago, so his texts might not be available over Internet... Although I've seen a couple of chapters somewhere...raynr wrote:But now you all have made me curious about this author. I really have to read one of his books...
Well, fortunately there are still some other sources for obtaining books. *Real* books, even. :)But he died only about 30 years ago, so his texts might not be available over Internet...
I would like everyone to enjoy listening to it, like me when I was recording itraynr wrote:I downloaded the file and listened into it a little bit. It's a very good recording. But I had only time to take a quick glance at it. I will listen to it on the weekend and start to catalogue it if everything is allright!
Recording turned to be a lot of fun, I just felt myself like an actor or something %)) That inspires very much and trains the actor's capabilities. Wunderbar!Yeah I've never thought that I will ever do things like this in my life %)raynr wrote:Thanks a lot!
I know how to pronounce German (far from perfect though), but that would sound weird anyway, so I'm afraid I shouldn't do it. How do you think? When you hear awful reading in your native language are you having fun or you are blaiming that not-studied-till-end-foreigner ? I mean not only in real life, but also how do you treat this, if one tries to read a book on the language not native to him ?
