LANGUAGES in LITERATURE
The
Gulag Archipelago
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
"Own...what you can carry with you: know languages,
know countries, know people."
Black
Lamb & Grey Falcon Rebecca West
Penguin Books 1994 Pages 60-61
Rebecca West and her husband were eating with friends
in Zagreb, when the talk turned to Pushkin.
"...the editor and the editor's wife and Valetta
and the Russian all began to talk at once,.... The talk had been
in French, it swung to Serbo-Croat, it ended in Russian. My husband
and I sat tantalized to fury. We knew Pushkin only by translation;
we found "Evgenye Onegin" like something between "Don
Juan" and Winthrop Mackworth Praed, and we liked his short
stories rather less than Nathaniel Hawthorne's; and obviously we
are wrong, for because of limitations of language we are debarred
from seeing something that is obvious to unsealed eyes as the difference
between a mule and a Derby winner."
The
Rise of Theodore Roosevelt
Edmund Morris
Modern Library Edition 2001 Page 129
Roosevelt and his wife are traveling in Europe.
"Moving on through Austria and Bavaria, the
young man (Roosevelt) had opportunity to exercise his linguistic
abilities, translating German into Italian for the benefit of the
carriage driver, and both into English for the benefit of Alice
(his wife)."
When in Rome
Robert J. Hutchinson
Broadway Books 2001 Pages 156-157
Years ago, I discovered a simple trick to help me when I was studying a foreign language: I would find myself the raciest story I could lay my hands on and then plunge right in. ...so, instead of giving up after twenty or thirty pages...I would keep flipping the pages eagerly looking up words so I could figure out what exactly was happening.
