      Werke. Frankfurter Ausgabe in sieben Bänden

      1: Dubliner

      by James Joyce, Dieter E. Zimmer

      Die Neuübersetzung von Dieter E. Zimmer versucht, den heutigen Anforderungen an den Text gerecht zu werden. Sie versucht, die Struktur der Erzählungen sichtbar zu machen, indem sie von ihr her übersetzt. Das verlangt eine große Nähe zum Original, die darin etwa ihren Nachweis erbringen muß, daß sie Identisches in verschiedenen Kontexten identisch übersetzt (was in der alten Übersetzung vielfach nicht geleistet ist), oder daß sie, bis in die Abfolge der Wörter hinein und manchmal sogar bis in deren Etymologie dem Original folgt. Der neue deutsche Text versucht zu zeigen, wie das, was dasteht, zusammenhängt.
