Imre Madách: La Tragedio de L’Homo / The Tragedy of Man (3)

Mi jam menciis la Esperantan tradukon La Tragedio de l’ Homo: Drama Poemo fare de Kálmán Kalocsay. Jen du pluaj referencoj en Esperanto:

Sándor Szathmári asertas (Sennacieca Revuo, n-ro 100, 1972, p. 35-40), ke la stilo de la hungara originalo malglatas sed ke la Esperanta traduko stile glatas. Nun mi blogas pri du anglalingvaj tradukoj, de 1988 kaj 1908. Anglalingvanoj povas kompari la intence antikvan stilon de la traduko de 1908 kun la pli moderna (ne nur laŭdate posta) traduko. La cetero de ĉi tiu afiŝo estas anglalingva.

The key scene I blogged about in Esperanto is on my web site:

The Tragedy of Man (Scene 13), translated from the Hungarian by George Szirtes

The entire translation can be found elsewhere online:

The Tragedy of Man; translated from the Hungarian by George Szirtes; introduction by George F. Cushing; illustrations by Mihály Zichy. New York: Püski Publishing, 1988.

Szirtes has his own web site:

His translation can be compared to an old translation in the public domain that was intentionally rendered in antiquated English:

The Tragedy of Man, translated by William N. Loew. New York: Arcadia Press, 1908.

It is exciting to fit developments in Hungarian literature since the mid-19th century into the overall picture of futurology, science fiction, and utopian/dystopian literature, with the larger picture of intellectual history in mind and critical theory more specifically. My new bibliography reflects this project:
