Krátky popis
Mark Twain's "The Jumping Frog : In English, then in French, then
clawed back into the civilized language once more by patient
unremunerated toil" (1865), also known as "The Celebrated Jumping
Frog of Calaveras County", "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras
County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog." Containing the
original story (in english), a french translation which was
published in la Revue des Deux Mondes and which Twain finds to be a
travesty of the original text, and Twain's re-translation of the
french back into english, word for word (this is where things
degenerate). A masterpiece of babelfishien nonsense dating from
well before babelfish was even a gleam in the binary code of its
creator (1903). Best appreciated if you can read both French and
English, but even if you skip the french version it's truly
brilliant. If you have ever translated random text using babelfish
just because it's funny, don't miss this book.As good old Samuel
Clemens himself put it in his foreword "I cannot speak the French
language, but I can translate very well, though not fast, I being
self-educated."
