"Handyman Jack" in Germany - Jamo - 12-13-2008
Ahh, this thread must be just for me
As I wrote in Off-Topic, my Notebook is broke, so.. but now I read this. I try to translate. But that does not mean, that that are the realt titles in english. I think german titles aren't just translated from the english.
All Repairman Jack stories:
Zwischenspiel im Drugstore / Interlude at the Drugstore
Ein ganz gewöhnlicher Tag / An ordinary day
Der letzte Rakosh / The last Rakosh
Der lange Weg nach Haus / The long way back home
Familiennotdienst / Family Emergency (service / unit)
In der Mangel / Being in a nice mess (I am not sure about that. perhaps: Being in a mangle/wringer)
Storiesthat are connected with Jack and/or the Adversary-Cycle:
Untermieter / border or subleaser or lodger
Gesichter / faces
Dat-Tay-Vao / Dat-Tay-Vao (??) ^^
Krabbler / crawler
Mitgefühl / compassion, or empathy or condolence
Nachwort des Übersetzers / epilogue of the translator
Hope this may help you Paul!
Perhaps you can tell me, when the next RJ book will be published in germany?
greets,
Jamo

Storiesthat are connected with Jack and/or the Adversary-Cycle:

Okay, thank you anyway Paul.
To the translations: I think i wasnt that bad. Much space to interpret single words and meanings

Just realized- Why does Germany get a Secret History of the World collection (albeit abridged)? Is ours coming before Nightworld? Will the stories be laid out in chronological order? That is when they take place, not when they were published? Will there be little notes between the stories saying which novels take place between them? Will it include The Last Rakosh and Home Repairs even though they were incorporated into All the Rage and Conspiracies? Will it include The Peabody-Ozimandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium even though an affordable self published version is soon coming out?
Okay, I'm tapped for questions at the moment.
