3. I know.
But it doesn't sound as Rammsteinish then. I mean, Rammsteinisch. :D

8. Ach du Macho Libre!
Ich habe diese Liebesverhältnis seit dem Anfang gehasst. Kein Wunder mein Sohn, das Kwisatch Haderach! kein ist kleiner, jetzt also Übergewicht, das er einen Wurm nur reiten kann, wenn ein Caryall ihn aufnimmt. Durch die katholische orange Bibel ist er wie Orson Welles in den sandigen Gesamten.

"Orson Welles in den sandigen Gesamten" <-- :thumbsup:

I bet Dune reads pretty cool auf Deutsch.

I should see if I can find a copy.

11. It's actually a pretty good translation,
and I'm sure it's because that books like this only find rare translators; like there was only one for Joyce's Ulysses.

12. Gott in Himmel, how does one translate Ulysses into any language?
I can scarcely translate it into English.

14. The guy who did it almost wrote a seperate book.
He was an author himself and translated Edgar Allen Poe before, and friend of Arno Schmidt who always played with the language and words. So for him to translate Ulysses was not really surprising, because somehow his whole career led to it, and it was highly praised. Others tried to translate some chapters but mostly failed, only Wollschläger had the words for it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Wollschl%C3%A4ger

And I looked up who translated Herbert's 'Dune.' Of course, a sci-fi geek, wrote many stories himself and translated many sci-fi pieces, including Star Trek scripts. That's what I meant, you couldn't just hand over 'Dune' top a professional translator. He probably would make some readable thing out of it but would totally lack the essence. Only a sci-fi geek could translate it, like only Wollschläger could translate 'Ulysses.'
