Per Wikipedia Wilhelm Hauff 1802 -1827 Was A Württembergian Poet And Novelist. He Was Born In Stuttgart The Son Of August Friedrich Hauff A Secretary In The Württemberg Ministry Of Foreign Affairs And Hedwig Wilhelmine Elsaesser Hauff. Young Hauff Lost His Father When He Was Seven Years Old And His Early Education Was Practically Self-Gained In The Library Of His Maternal Grandfather At Tübingen Where His Mother Had Moved After The Death Of Her Husband. In 1818 He Was Sent To The Klosterschule At Blaubeuren And In 1820 Began To Study At The University Of Tübingen. In Four Years He Completed His Philosophical And Theological Studies At The Tübinger Stift. On Leaving The University Hauff Became Tutor To The Children Of The Württemberg Minister Of War General Baron Ernst Eugen Von Hugel 1774-1849 And For Them Wrote His Märchen Fairy Tales Which He Published In His Märchen Almanach Auf Das Jahr 1826 Fairytale Almanac Of 1826. While There He Also Wrote The First Part Of The Mitteilungen Aus Den Memoiren Des Satan 1826; Memoirs Of Beelzebub And Der Mann Im Mond 1825; The Man In The Moon. The Latter A Parody Of The Sentimental And Sensual Novels Of Heinrich Clauren The Pseudonym Of Carl Gottlieb Samuel Heun 1771-1854 Was Actually Published Under His Name. As A Result Clauren Brought And Won An Action For Damages Against Hauff Whereupon Hauff Followed Up The Attack In His Witty And Sarcastic Kontroverspredigt Über H. Clauren Und Den Mann Im Mond 1826 And Attained His Original Object: The Moral Annihilation Of The Mawkish And Unhealthy Literature With Which Clauren Was Flooding The Country. Meanwhile Inspired By Sir Walter Scott's Novels Hauff Wrote The Historical Romance Lichtenstein: Romantische Sage Aus Der Wuerttembergischen Geschichte 1826; Lichtenstein: Romantic Saga From The History Of Württemberg Which Became Hugely Popular In Germany And Especially In Swabia Treating As It Did The Most Interesting Period In The History Of That Country The Reign Of Duke Ulrich 1487-1550. This Novel Was The Inspiration For Duke Ulrich's Heir Duke Wilhelm Of Urach To Rebuild The Castle Which Had Fallen Into Disrepair In Accordance With Hauff's Description. While On A Journey To France The Netherlands And Northern Germany He Wrote The Second Part Of The Memoiren Des Satan And Some Short Novels Among Them The Charming Die Bettlerin Vom Pont Des Arts 1826; The True Lover's Fortune; Or The Beggar Of The Pont Des Arts And His Masterpiece The Novella Phantasien Im Bremer Ratskeller 1827; The Wine-Ghosts Of Bremen. He Also Published Some Short Poems Which Have Passed Into Volkslieder Among Them "Morgenrot Morgenrot Leuchtest Mir Zum Frühen Tod" "Dawn's Light You Are Lighting My Way To Early Death" And "Steh Ich In Finstrer Mitternacht" "I Stand In The Darkest Midnight". The Novella Jud Süß "Süss The Jew" Infamous For Its Antisemitism Was Published In 1827; A Film Version Was Produced By The Nazi Party As Propaganda In 1940. In January 1827 Hauff Undertook The Editorship Of The Stuttgart Morgenblatt And In The Following Month Married His Cousin Luise Hauff But His Happiness Was Prematurely Cut Short By His Death From Typhoid Fever On 18 November 1827. His Sämtliche Werke Collected Works With A Biography Edited By Gustav Schwab Were Published In 3 Volumes 1830-1834 And 5 Volumes 18Th Ed. In 1882. They Were Also Published By Felix Bobertag 1891-1897. A Selection From His Works Was Published By M. Mendheim 3 Vols 1891. A Six-Volume Edition With A Biographical Introduction By Alfred Weile Was Published In 1911 By A. Weichert. Christopher Morley's English Translations Of Hauff's Short Story "The Young Foreigner" And Alfred De Musset's Tale "The Story Of A White Blackbird" Were Published Together In Book Form By Doubleday In 1925. <br/> <br/> Paul Hamlyn / Artia hardcover
1960035738London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1960. 1st Edition 5th or later Printing. Dark Blue Cloth. Fine/Good. 207 Pp Publisher's Catalog At Rear Dated 1959. 1960 Reprint The Eighth Impression Of The Book Which Was First Published 1922 With A Few Corrections In 1933. This Example With The Translation Uniquely Corrected In Pencil Throughout By A Rhodes Scholar Circa 1963-4. The Translation Corrects Obvious Clear Mistranslations And Omissions To Such A Degree That It Constitutes A New Corrected Translation. The Translator Of These Corrections William Zaltonoga A Champion Oxford Boxer While A Rhodes Scholar Appears To Understand That Wittgenstein Is Discussing How One Thinks About Objects Of One's Own Private Thoughts. Wittgenstein May Be Seen To Make Highly Pointed Conversational Observations Which Tear The Structure Of Consensual Academic Philosophical Thought With Jab After Jab Demolishing Conventions Not By Creating A Complete Philosophy But By Identifying How One May Think More Exactly On Matters Of Philosophy And Science And Mathematics More Exactly Than Historical Consensus Demands Yet Still In A Consensus-Seeking Manner And By Implication Showing How Basic Concepts In The Mind Of The Reader Are Always Woefully Undeveloped If Not Juvenile. The Text In This Translation Makes Such Pointed Observations That It Questions The Basic Intellectual Background And Abilities Of The Intended Audience- Future Educators Civil Service Managers And Political Policy Makers Educated At Elite Institutions. It Is Understandable How Academics Had Not Previously Bothered With A More Correct Translation As The Book Is Virtually Unteachable Beyond The Text Itself Unless One's Teacher Is Smarter Than Wittgenstein Who Wrote It For The Students. An Important Addition To The Wittgenstein Canon Both For Identifying The Inexplicable Inadequacies Or Intentional Dumbing-Down By His Translators And For The Exactness Of The New Translation Offered Here. Later Entirely Redone By Pears And Mcguiness Perhaps Not As Well Done As Here By Zaltonaga. For Another Good Example Of A Post-World War I Mistranslation Also Somewhat Political But In This Instance Mis-Translation From The Russian Compare Any English Translation Of Zamyatin's "We" To The 1991 First Translation Into English By A Native Russian Speaker Raduga Publishers Moscow 1991 Where The One Is Almost Unrecognizable From The Other. <br/> <br/> Routledge & Kegan Paul hardcover
