Mór Jókai
[Bearbeiten]The Hungarian writer Mór Jókai's novel "Szegény gazdagok" (Die reichen Armen) was published in 1860. I found a Norwegian translation from 1874 (here) that is anonymous, but contains a 10-page long introduction to the author and his life. This is strange, and I suspect that it is a translation from a German edition. The number of people who could translate directly from Hungarian to Norwegian must be very small, and the chance is even smaller that the same person could also write a long introduction about the author. The introduction begins with a question "Who is Maurus Jokai?" and at the beginning quotes German researcher Carl Braun-Wiesbaden. At the end, it compares Jokai to Dickens and Edgar-Poe and also mentiones Turgenjew. Any help in identifying the original would be appreciated. The page Mór Jókai mentions "Die reichen Armen" but only a 4th edition from 1884. When was Ludwig Wechsler's translation first published? Does it contain a 10-page introduction?

- Gateway-Bayern.de lists a German translation dating to 1872, linking it to the series "Roman-Magazin des Auslandes" Jahrg. 1872 Bd. 3. Other online catalogs give 1873 as the earliest edition, e.g. K10+ Translator was K. M. Kertbeny (GND). I do not have access to these editions and don't know whether they contain an introduction.
- Hello @LA2 I am sorry for the late reply. I could find the first translation mentioned, that is the one that was published in parts in the "Roman-Magazin des Auslandes" for 1872 vol. 3. Here, no name is given for the author, but merely stated "Translated from the Hungarian original's 3rd edition by a compatriot [person from the same country like the author] and childhood friend". This translation is not accompanied by an introduction on the author. As for the 1st translation, K10+ indeed gives Károly Mária Kertbeny as the name of the translator. I have contacted the museum of Heidelberg University to ask if they could check the book for an introduction to the author. The fact that the book (and hence most probably the translation in the "magazine of foreign novels" was translated by Kertbeny is substantiated by another edition of Jokai's work, namely Achtzehn humoristische Erzählungen (18 humorous stories), vol. 1, which has the same sub-heading "Translated from the Hungarian original's 3rd edition by a compatriot [person from the same country like the author] and childhood friend". In the preface there is a reference saying From the author of »Spiegelbilder der Erinnerung«, »Große Leute, kleine Schwächen« and »Moderne Imperatoren«, which have all been attributed to Kertbeny by libraries, even though none of the titles stated has a clear name of the author on the title pages, but only cross-references to the titles stated. The first volume of the 18 humorous stories contains an introduction to the author. At the beginning the wording of the introduction is different, the first sentence being Think, folks, there are also novels in the Hungarian language, but after 2 pages of different wording, when the actual introduction to Mór Jókai starts, on page XI in the book, the wording starts coinciding with what Google Translate gives as the German translation of the Norwegian edition, starting with the paragraph Maurus Jókai (udta1es Joh-ka-i) fødtes den 19de Februar 1825 i Komorn. Hans Fader var Advokat Samuel Jókai og hans Moder Maria Pulay, begge af gammel adelig, streng reformeret Familie. I denne kalvinistiske Puritanisme = German: Maurus Jókai (ausgesprochen: Jó-ka-i) wurde am 19. Februar 1825 in Komorn geboren. Sein Vater war der Advokat Samuel Jókai und seine Mutter Maria Pulay; beide entstammten altem Adel und einer streng reformierten Familie. In diesem calvinistischen Puritanismus wuchsen auch der Junge selbst sowie sein älterer Bruder Karl und seine ebenfalls ältere Schwester Esther auf. which is Google-translated very well to English Maurus Jókai (pronounced: Jó-ka-i) was born on February 19, 1825, in Komorn. His father was the attorney Samuel Jókai, and his mother was Maria Pulay; both hailed from the old nobility and a strictly Reformed family. The boy himself—as well as his older brother Karl and his older sister Esther—grew up amidst this Calvinist Puritanism. So I can only confirm the assumption already made that the introduction to Jókai was authored by Károly Mária Kertbeny. Finally I wish to add that the book edition stated here of 18 humorous stories also states that the introduction was originally published in Dr. Rodenbergs Salon, which means the Der Salon für Literatur, Kunst und Gesellschaft, in issue 42 for 1870. However, the very identical introduction to Maurus Jókai was indeed printed in vol 7, which, even though not carrying a year on the title page, is actually for the first half of 1871. In this vol. 7 the original of the Jokai essay can be found on page 683. The Jókai essay is accompanied by a portrait engraving.
- Apparently there was a "Berliner Jókai-Klub" at least by 1874 (probably older) of which Carl/Karl Braun-Wiesbaden was a member. https://books.google.de/books?id=wH9R85y_f1AC&pg=PP7
- By the way, the GND has two Ludwig Wechsler entries (different persons or duplicate entry?): 1055095330 and 117177903 --Jonas kork (Diskussion) 09:15, 4. Mär. 2024 (CET)
- "Jokai Club" is also listed among perfumes in a 1863 advertisment (Nürnberger Anzeiger, in the "Rosenmilch" ad) and among paper types in a 1869 ad (Tiroler Volksblatt, bottom left paragraph). --Jonas kork (Diskussion) 09:23, 4. Mär. 2024 (CET)
Phoken
[Bearbeiten]Was sind Phoken? Selbst Google schweigt. Hier der komplette Satz aus Meyer’s (1852): Der Handel mit den neuen Freistaaten auf der Westküste Amerika’s war es jedoch nicht allein, was den britischen und nordamerikanischen Unternehmungsgeist lockte, – ein weit größerer Reiz war ihm durch den Reichthum jenes Oceans an Phokenarten geboten, deren Fang für den Zweck der Thranbereitung schon vor dreißig Jahren beständig 5–600 große Schiffe beschäftigte, Zahlen, die seitdem sich auf das Dreifache erhöht haben. --A.
