Tuscania1918 Posted 5 December , 2012 Share Posted 5 December , 2012 Are there any World War One books telling the German side of the war., Are there translated books any where in bookstores.

Phil Evans Posted 5 December , 2012 Share Posted 5 December , 2012 Search Jack Sheldon in Amazon Books. Not translated from German (first hand accounts excepted), but well worth reading. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbo139 Posted 6 December , 2012 Share Posted 6 December , 2012 What about Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger.......... very interesting introduction in the latest print about the translators interpretation of 'what the author meant' also the bibliography might help, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Filsell Posted 6 December , 2012 Share Posted 6 December , 2012 As part of a very slow going project I have located some 160 and purchased some 140 or so German Great War works - novels, poetry, diaries and personal accounts - over the past six or seven years. This list excludes translated works of senior officers - the axe grinders and I am sure there are more. There is a great deal of very valuable writing amongst them, including surprisingly two homoerotic works (which were interesting) as well some extremely worthwhile fiction. All were published in the UK or the US. The project is to complete a commenatray and bibliography on the works and the authors. It's extremely slow going and currently delayed by the fact that about twenty or so which I know have been translated are either impossible to locate or extreemly costly (for good copies - don't ask about dust jackets). Part of the problem is time, life and everything else, and the " is it publishable. Alternatively should I create website and put on what I have already, or (immodestlysince I seem to know as much about the subject as anyone)would anyone be interested in simply buying the bibliography without the commentary.? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodie31 Posted 6 December , 2012 Share Posted 6 December , 2012 A brief annotated bibliography might be a good compromise. One or two sentences about each title would definately be handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
