Annotation

Criticizes Annemarie Horschitz’s embellished and hyperbolic 1930 German translation of A Farewell to Arms. Dick cites several passages in which Horschitz departs from Hemingway’s intentionally understated language regarding war, opting instead for graphic and romantic language. Briefly analyzes the translation in the context of the German literary tradition to explain Horschitz’s stylistic decisions, which ultimately undercut the novel’s critique of elaborate rhetoric and detract from its antiwar message.
