彭淮凍的《浮士德博士》的導讀和779個注解,可以幫助讀者了解和研究。譬如說,注解原文的音樂學論點是採用Adorno的,例如注81和415等。譯注也可當成索引,了解《聖經》和莎士比亞作品的影響:譬如說重要的 比較Love's Labour's Lost in Doctor Faustus、《暴風雨》《、十四行詩集》等等。http://hctranslations.blogspot.tw/2015/04/blog-post_12.html
彭錦堂指出《浮士德博士》譯文的高妙處 (pp.568~69)、
-“What an absurd torture for the artist to know that an audience identifies him with a work that, within himself, he has moved beyond and that was merely a game played with something in which he does not believe.” from DOCTOR FAUSTUS
Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann: Languishing under a hot sun in “German California”, Mann and Theodor Adorno worked together on this vast novel. This narrative about barbarity and rationality features a composer who is something like Arnold Schoenberg. The work of the fictional, demonic, syphilitic composer Adrian Leverkuhn are described in lines from Adorno’s Philosophy of New Music. Adorno himself makes an appearance as the devil, in the shape of a “theoretician and critic, who himself composes, so far as thinking allows him”.
Arnold Schoenberg / Schönberg頁
George Gershwin painting a portrait of his friend Arnold Schoenberg / Schönberg. Both composers were also painters.
Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann was first published by Alfred A. Knopf in the United States on this day in 1948.
"Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?"
--from "Doctor Faustus"
--from "Doctor Faustus"
Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul--and the ability to love his fellow man. Leverkühn's life story is a brilliant allegory of the rise of the Third Reich, of Germany's renunciation of its own humanity and its embrace of ambition and nihilism. It is also Mann's most profound meditation on the German genius--both national and individual--and the terrible responsibilities of the truly great artist.
"Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?"
--from "Doctor Faustus" By Thomas Mann
Thomas Mann wrote Doctor Faustus during his exile from Nazi Germany. In retrospect it seems—although he already had a long string of masterpieces to his name—that this is the novel he was born to write. Obsessively exploring the evil into which his country had fallen, Mann succeeds as only he could have in charting the dimensions of that evil; and this drama of a composer who sells his soul for the artistic power he craves has both the pertinence of history and the universality of myth. With an introdcution by T.J. Reed, this version is a translation by H.T. Lowe-Porter.

重讀”小記THOMAS MANN” (約10年前寫的)。第一段是:
“讀 The Cambridge Companion to THOMAS MANN (2002;重慶出版社影印,2006),發現末章是探討其原授權之德譯英版本的許多「翻譯」問題(Mann in English)。有些是翻譯者誤會/不懂,有些是翻譯者似乎圖謀不軌(稍微改動會讓讀者對人物的看法很不相同…….)”
